For the past 20 years, I have practiced criminal and civil law in our community serving in various capacities as an Assistant County Attorney, Assistant District Attorney, Assistant City Prosecutor and Assistant County Public Defender. I was an attorney at the Office of the Staff Judge Advocate General, US Department of Defense, US Department of the Army for five years. I was also an Associate Attorney for a local civil law firm. Currently, I am in private practice, where I handle civil and criminal cases in the Texas State courts and Federal courts. I am licensed to practice law before the U.S. Supreme Court, the U.S. Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals, the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Texas and the State Bar of Texas. I have taught at the University of Texas at El Paso, El Paso Community College, and lectured at numerous legal and community seminars throughout Texas. As a Judge and attorney, I have gained experience in both civil and criminal law on both the defense and prosecution sides, bringing a fair and balanced perspective to the bench that you can trust.

For the past 12 years, I have served as your Municipal Judge both in El Paso and in Clint. I began as an Associate Municipal Court Judge for the City of El Paso and as the Presiding Municipal Court Judge in Clint, Texas. Since 2000, with your vote of confidence, I have served you as Judge of Municipal Court No. 4. For the past five years, I was appointed by my fellow Municipal Judges to preside over the five Municipal Courts and supervise the substitute Associate Judges appointed by City Council.
