- Evictions laws changed on January 1, 2026. JP courts need judges who know the law and ensure that it is being applied fairly. I've held numerous forums to inform landlords and tenants of the latest changes so they are aware of their rights. We also have attorneys from the Dallas Eviction Advocacy Center on-site to assist tenants when they arrive to court for their hearings. While we can't stop evictions, our court provides various resources to assist individuals during this difficult time.
- Since taking office in 2019, I have fulfilled my campaign promise to be a fair and efficient judge. I also kept my promise to hold a night court docket on the first Tuesday of the month until 7 pm so people can take care of their legal matters after normal business hours. I also implemented mediation for civil cases so cases could be settled out of court. This saves litigants money and time instead of proceeding with trial.
- Since 2019, I have provided community members new and innovative ways for the justice court to be fair and accessible. Our court has partnered with Financial Health Pathways to educate Class C misdemeanor offenders on financial principles and the long-term consequences of entering the criminal justice system. Participants can have their cases dismissed and fines waived once completing the program.
