We Have Three Great Judicial Candidates!

This blog will offer an in depth discussion of our great candidates for Texas Supreme Court, but as a preview of that longer discussion, here are some initial thoughts about our best candidates:

Sam Houston's practice as an attorney for over 20 years has included representing people on both sides of the docket in business litigation and injury cases as well as representing people in administrative proceedings.

Houston is board certified by the state bar as an expert lawyer and he is recognized as an outstanding advocate by his peers and by the National Board of Trial Advocacy and the American Board of Trial Advocates and and by the Texas Psychological Association and by Houston Magazine's article on "Houston's Top Lawyers" as well as Texas Monthly's ranking of "Super Lawyers."

Justice Linda Yanez has been an attorney with the Legal Assistance Foundation, counsel for the Mexican American Legal Defense and Education Fund, "Outstanding Lawyer" and "Lawyer of the Year" award recipient from the Mexican American Bar Association of Texas, an adviser to President Bill Clinton on immigration matters, a teacher at Harvard Law School, and after becoming the first Latina to have served on any Texas appeals court she has been an appellate judge for 15 years.

Justice Yanez is Texas' most progressive advocate for justice. When Wainwright got the Duenez case wrong, Justice Yanez was the appellate court judge who got the case right. Justice Yanez also wrote a great law review article entitled “Local Police Involvement in the Enforcement of Immigration Law.”

Judge Jim Jordan first served as a judge over 20 years ago and is widely respected as a very fair judge in Dallas. Judge Jordan's community-oriented values are well reflected by his contributions to Habitat for Humanity, the State Bar's lawyer Grievance Committee, SMU's Trial Advocacy Program, Scouting, the YMCA's Indian Guide program, and various support organizations benefitting Nathan Adams Elementary and W.T. White High School.
