Judicial candidates in Galveston County

Galveston County will very likely complete its transition to being a county with all Republican judges next year and the few Democratic incumbents know it.  Here is the breakdown of who is running or not running: 306h Family District Court - Judge Jan Yarbrough is expected to retire but she is not officially confirmed she will not seek reelection.  Anne Darring and Jennifer Burnett are the only announced candidates on the Republican side. 212th District Court - Incumbent Judge Susan Criss has already said she will retire.  Now, it is rumored that she may well resign this Fall to run for the State Representative seat being vacated by the retiring Craig Eiland.  That district is clearly winnable by a Democrat and Criss would be trying to follow in the footsteps of her father, former Rep. Lloyd Criss.  A Criss resignation would allow Governor Perry to appoint someone to fill out the term.  The appointee would become the de facto incumbent and have big advantage in the 2014 ...

Judges & Money: The Races for 2018 – Part One

Our family law judges can start fund-raising in May if they are up for election in 2018. Lawyers can expect to be hit up from many of different directions for contributions during the next year and a half. Democrats sense that the unpopularity and incompetence and policies of the Trump administration may change the usual voting patterns in Harris County, where Republicans usually win in non-presidential election years. It is easier to motivate voters with anger and fear than it is civic duty. It is well known that demographic changes in Harris County will mean that sooner or later all of our judges will be Democrats. The Legislature is considering eliminating straight ticket voting for trial judges, but it is not clear to me which side that will really help. Judge Roy Moore is far ahead of the judicial pack in organization and he has a fund-raiser planned for Tuesday, May 16, 2017 at B&B Butchers, located at 1814 Washington Avenue.  Judge Moore has for months been sending out ...

Intro to the Alicia Franklin Scandal

This sad, heartfelt introduction to the Judge Alicia Franklin scandal is reprinted from the September 3, 2014 Mongoose newsletter. We understand our parents more and more as we age ourselves.  "Enthusiasm" was something my father had for everything in his life: his work as a school principal, organizing his garage, caring for the yard, serving his church, taking apart and reassembling a washing machine just for the challenge, and raising four boys.  My Dad loved his work, and for good reason was one year named "National Principal of the Year."  When the school district would move him to yet another troubled school that needed help, the parents and teachers at his old school would protest and demand that he stay.                                     The only time I can recall my father ever being really upset about his work that he ...

Thank you Judge Janis Yarbrough

We say "good bye" to many fine judges who are retiring and leaving the bench on December 31.  We will all miss the friendly and hard working Judge Jim York, even as he passes his mantle of the most pro-mother judge in custody cases on the planet to Galveston County Associate Judge Steve Baker. Bonnie Hellums was an amazing breath of fresh air and reform when she was first elected in the 1994 Republican sweep that knocked off all of the Democratic incumbent judges.  It was revolutionary then to think that a family court judge would rule based on the law and the facts and what was best for children instead of who the lawyers were.  Now, thanks to judges like Bonnie Hellums, that is the least we expect in our family courts. Harris County is also losing some amazing associate judges: Robert Newey and Michael Hay. The family judge that has meant the most to my life and professional career has been Galveston County Family District Judge Jan Yarbrough, who is retiring after twelve years as ... Read More >
