Tom Green County Justice of the Peace, Precinct 1

Incumbent Republican Susan Werner won the March 3, 2026 Republican primary unopposed (1,183 votes) and faces Walter Bryant, who was the only Democrat on a county primary ballot and won the Democratic primary unopposed (Bryant received 845 votes), in November (official cumulative results). Only Precinct 1 voters vote in this race. Searches found no biographical information or campaign site for Bryant; the county Democratic Party page lists his candidacy without a bio.

Justice of the peace. Justices of the peace handle the lowest-level court matters: small claims, evictions, traffic and minor criminal cases, and, in some states, marriages and inquests. The office is part of the judiciary, so candidates are limited in what they may promise.

This race. The sitting officeholder, Susan Werner, is on the ballot.
