A Note from Mark
Friends,
I am honored to be a candidate for Judge of Brazos County Court at Law No. 2.
I have served Brazos County as a lawyer, a community volunteer, and a dedicated Republican. I am a conservative who believes judges must interpret the law—not rewrite it—and apply it fairly, consistently, and without bias.
My education and professional experience have prepared me well to serve as judge. I am an Eagle Scout and National Merit Scholar. While attending Texas A&M University, I was awarded a University Endowed Scholarship and the Commandant’s Leadership Scholarship and proudly served as a member of the Fightin’ Texas Aggie Band. I graduated in 1997 with a Bachelor of Arts in Speech Communication.
I earned my Doctor of Jurisprudence from South Texas College of Law, was licensed to practice law in Texas in 2000, and admitted to practice before the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas in 2005.
As an attorney, I have served in a wide range of roles. I worked as an Assistant District Attorney in Brazoria and Walker Counties and was appointed Special Prosecutor in Madison and Grimes Counties. In private practice, I have represented countless clients in courts across the State of Texas, handling a broad spectrum of cases with professionalism and integrity.
I am deeply committed to the community where I live, work, and raise my family. Seeking election as Judge of County Court at Law No. 2 is the next step in a lifetime of service. Throughout my career, I have advocated for some of our most vulnerable citizens—children, indigent individuals without access to justice, and those with mental illness or developmental disabilities who cannot advocate for themselves.
Justice Lewis Powell once wrote:
“Equal justice under law is not merely a caption on the façade of the Supreme Court building; it is perhaps the most inspiring ideal of our society… It is fundamental that justice should be the same, in substance and availability, without regard to economic status.”
I strive to live out that principle every day. I regularly represent indigent clients, and in recognition of this work, Lone Star Legal Aid named me Pro Bono Attorney of the Year in 2021 and honored me in 2019 for handling the most contested pro bono cases in Brazos County.
Individuals with developmental disabilities and mental illness are too often pushed to the margins of society—that is simply wrong. Through my service on the Board of the MHMR Authority of Brazos County, I work to ensure these individuals receive the services and support they need to live with dignity. I have also successfully obtained verdicts of Not Guilty by Reason of Insanity for two clients charged with murder who were not receiving appropriate mental health treatment; today, both receive care in state mental health facilities.
