The busy Civil Courts of Harris County, Texas, are charged with rendering justice to individual and corporate citizens in a fair, timely and efficient manner. As a candidate for 270th Civil District Court Judge in the upcoming Democratic primary, Bob Thomas brings 40 years of legal, law enforcement and corporate experience to the role of Judge. 

I have been a practicing attorney in Harris County for two decades, and I retired from the Houston Police Department with twenty years of service. I believe the role of a District Court Judge is to apply – not make – the law, by listening, understanding and acting as a neutral referee. My commitment to the citizens of Harris County is to serve the 270th court wisely and with impartiality, to treat every litigant with respect, and to operate my courtroom with professionalism and efficiency as a responsible steward of taxpayer dollars.
