EXPERIENCE

I serve you as judge of the 36th District Court, and I have done so for the past five years. I have presided over thousands of cases, including numerous civil and criminal jury trials. I preside over cases in family law, corporate, real estate, oil & gas, civil litigation, juvenile law as well as felony criminal cases. I serve as Chairman of the Bee County Courthouse Security Committee and sit on the Board of Judges and the Juvenile Board for San Patricio, Aransas, Bee, Live Oak and McMullen Counties.  Recognizing a need, I worked to establish CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocates) in Bee, Live Oak, and McMullen Counties to serve the children in our community.  I practiced law in this district for 19 years before becoming your judge and I represented citizens throughout this district and from all these counties.  It is my honor to serve as your judge.

Community

FAMILY

I am a lifelong Republican with Texas roots and Texas faith. I have been married to my husband Boyd, for 26 years.  We live in Beeville, Texas , where we have raised our three children, Walker, Katie and Jackson.
