AUBREY R. TAYLOR: Why should voters in Harris County, Texas cast their ballot for you over your opponent on Tuesday, November 6, 2018, in the Midterm Election?

JUDGE JOHN SCHMUDE: “As the presiding Judge of the 247th Family District Court, I have disposed of more than 11,000 cases in every area of family law. I have had single days in which I handled more individual cases as a judge than my opponent has handled as a lawyer in her entire legal career. Secondly, I have made substantial progress in the 247th in ensuring that we do not impose unreasonable financial burdens on the backs of the poor such as having parties bear the cost of appointed lawyers when they cannot even afford to pay for a lawyer of their own. I have also ensured that in CPS cases, when it becomes necessary to remove children from their homes that they are placed, whenever possible, with loving family members who are ready, willing and able to provide a safe home rather than placing them in foster homes. I have a strong record of service, which includes serving in the Upward Bound program, which assists inner-city minority students to achieve their dreams of a college education. I also served Native American families from the Lakota Sioux Tribe in South Dakota in dealing with the effects of alcoholism and drug addiction.”

Judge John Schmude, the Presiding Judge of the 247th Family District Court Values, Respects, and Would Greatly Appreciate Your Consideration on Tuesday, November 6, 2018, in Harris County

HBCN SPOTLIGHT©

District Court. Judge Schmude was elected in 2014 and is currently asking for your vote as he runs for re-election in 2018. Here are some interesting facts to keep in mind in determining whether or not this Judge deserves your vote for re-election.

First, when Judge Schmude took office in January 2015, he inherited a court with a tremendous backlog of cases. After his first year in office, the 247th District Court disposed of more than 4,000 cases, more than any other family court in Harris County! The 247th District Court was repeatedly recognized in 2015 by the District Clerk’s Office for being the most efficient court in Harris County for electronic filing. This was an impressive accomplishment for a new Judge that was criticized by many within his own party for lacking the experience necessary to preside over this very important Court.

In accomplishing this objective, Judge Schmude implemented several innovative measures to promote efficiency, including the launch of an express docket, which allows any lawyer or litigant with a matter that requires five minutes or less of the court’s time to be heard before the call of the main docket. This has resulted in a reduction in the number of cases heard during the main docket and has allowed lawyers and litigants with matters of short duration to get in and out of court quickly, thereby reducing costs and promoting efficiency. He has also implemented a strong mediation policy – to encourage amicable solutions for families – and has allowed litigants to prove up settlement agreements any time during the day that the court is in session and available. This User-Friendly Court has won the overwhelming respect of the family law bar as Judge Schmude was rated as either “Excellent” or “Above Average” by nearly three-quarters of family law practitioners in the most recent HBA Bar Poll in every single judicial evaluation category.

Also, Judge Schmude, and his Associate Judge, Paula Vlahakos, have done an impressive job in presiding over CPS cases. CPS cases disproportionately affect minority families, and it is extremely important to have judges that take their gatekeeping role seriously. In other words, it’s important to have judges that act quickly to protect children from abuse and neglect while at the same time protect the constitutional rights of parents from illegal removals, which can decimate families and traumatize children. Judge Schmude demonstrated clearly his gatekeeping role in 2016 after it was apparent that a father’s constitutional rights had been grossly violated by an illegal removal. In this case, he rendered a scathing sanctions order in which he ordered CPS to pay nearly $30,000 in fees and ordered all CPS personnel associated with the case to read the U.S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights to the Texas Constitution. Having a Judge that is not intimidated by powerful government agencies and who takes his gatekeeping role seriously is a benefit to all of our families. As a result of this case, Judge Schmude earned the prestigious Defender of the Family Award from the THSC. In order to serve the interests of justice, it’s so critical to have judges that ensure a level playing field: from powerful governmental agencies all the way down to the poorest litigant who cannot afford an attorney.

As he nears the end of his first term, Judge Schmude has demonstrated the ability to effectively and efficiently preside over a large and complex docket. Secondly, he has shown his conviction to treat all litigants with dignity and respect. Lastly, he has demonstrated a fair and impartial temperament and a conviction to make decisions based not on expediency but based merely on the desire to do what is right. Can we expect more from a family court judge?

GOVERNOR GREG ABBOTT WILL BE THE MAN TO BEAT ON TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 6, 2018 IN THE STATE OF TEXAS

GREG ABBOTT -- GOVERNOR OF TEXAS

Our primaries in Texas (in general) and Harris County (in particular) will for the most part be about two people – Governor Greg Abbott, and whomever the Texas Democratic Party can convince to challenge him. However, after the beating Gov. Abbott put on his last Democratic rival, former state senator Wendy R. Davis back in 2014, no big names have officially stepped up to the plate to challenge him as of yet. Oh, I forgot, the Democrats do have Jeffrey Payne, the owner of a gay bar in Dallas, Texas. Payne has publicly stated that he plans to challenge Gov. Abbott in 2018. And according to published reports, he plans to loan his campaign at least $2 million dollars to help his cause. But he’ll need a lot more than that to win in Texas. Anyways, in case you’ve forgotten, Gov. Greg Abbott received 2,796,547 votes for 59.27% of the vote back on Tuesday, November 4, 2014 statewide in Texas. The Democratic nominee, Wendy R. Davis received 1,835,596 votes for 38.90% of the statewide vote. To round out the 2014 MIDTERM ELECTION field of gubernatorial candidates Kathie Glass (Libertarian) received 66,543 for 1.41%; Brandon Parmer a member of the Green Party received 18,520 for 0.39%; and Sarah M. Pavitt a write-in candidate received 1,062 for 0.02% of the statewide vote in Texas.

HERE'S HOW GOVERNOR GREG ABBOTT PERFORMED IN HARRIS COUNTY BACK IN THE 2O14 MIDTERM ELECTION 

In Harris County back in the 2014 MIDTERM ELECTION: Governor Greg Abbott received 349,639 votes for 51.41% of the Harris County vote. The Democratic nominee Wendy R. Davis received 320,160 votes for 47.08% of the Harris County vote. The Libertarian nominee Kathie Glass received 7,818 votes for 1.15% of the Harris County vote. The Green Party nominee Brandon Parmer received 2,431 votes for 0.36% of the Harris County vote. And Sarah M. Pavitt the write-inn candidate received 28 votes for 0.00% of the Harris County vote.
