A dream realized

   Ever since I was a young lawyer working in my dad’s hometown law office, I’ve dreamed of being a judge. That dream has now come true, thanks to Republicans across our area nominating me and Governor Abbott recently appointing me.
    While I can’t give remotely the thanks that are due in 150 words or less, here goes.
    I want to thank my wife Margaret and our kids and grandkids for their unceasing support throughout this process. 
    I also want to thank so many friends, old and new, for their constant help along this winding road. You know who you are, and I’m so thankful for each of you.
    I’ll never forget the elation of being sworn in as District Judge with my family and hundreds of friends all around. I was presiding over a trial the day after being sworn in, and I’m genuinely honored to serve you as judge.
