Dallas County Criminal Justice Elections

It’s election time again, with the filing deadline approaching on December 11.  I plan to do a list for those candidates that are part of the system—judges and prosecutors—as the information becomes available. Of course there are rumors in Dallas County about judges leaving and candidates for benches that are not listed here.  I leave those thoughts and expressions to others in the comments below this post, if you so choose.  As of now, to be updated as new information comes in, this is the list of candidates form the party websites.  The Democratic Party has included on their site those running that have not officially filed, and if I run across an announcement on a Facebook page, etc., then I will gladly list them below. 

I post names only here, with party affiliation for new candidates and (I) for the incumbent or current office holder, with minimal extraneous detail (it’s noted where judges have recently been appointed by Governor Abbott or where a judge is retiring, etc).  Any comment as to the individuals running I leave to you.
