Director & Presiding Judge
I am the Director and Presiding Judge of Houston, TX ensuring justice is administered fairly to all.
I oversee all departments of the courthouse. I ensure the Judges are on the benches and the clerks are where they need to be. I make sure our budget runs smoothly. I help conduct student tours and I oversee our Teen Court. My typical day has many twists and turns which can be challenging.
