The County Court at Law judge handles the everyday cases: a DWI or other misdemeanor charge, a parent's will and estate (probate), a guardianship for a family member who can no longer manage, mental-health commitments — and some custody hearings, to help the District Courts keep up. Not the high-profile cases, but the important cases that happen to all of us. Hays County has three of these courts; two are on the ballot this year, and your vote ensures our residents are represented fairly.
The Democratic candidate
Jimmy Alan Hall
Democrat IncumbentAbout Jimmy
Hall practiced law for more than 40 years — redistricting fights, environmental cases for the State, municipal prosecutor — then in 2022 unseated the Republican judge of County Court at Law No. 1. Now he's asking Hays County to vote to keep him there.
He holds three UT degrees — architecture, public affairs and law — is a certified mediator, and lives in Wimberley, where he serves on the boards of Imagine Wimberley and Wimberley Valley Radio and mentors students at Texas State and Wimberley ISD.
