Top Priorities
- I will apply the law as written and keep my personal views out of opinions.
- I have experience tailored to the exclusive jurisdiction of the 15th Court of Appeals--complex business appeals, constitutional questions, and appeals in which the State of Texas is a party.
- Judges must be humble and understand their role in the system, while also bold enough to make difficult decisions that perhaps are not popular politically or otherwise.
