Harris County Commissioner's Court Decides Not to Appoint Judges During Executive Session
While the appointment of Harris County Criminal Court Judges was on the agenda this week, apparently Harris County Commissioner's Court decided to wait on the appointments until after the primary elections in March. Not sure exactly what happened in the executive session with the Commissioners, but it seems they made the correct decision to appoint after the primary election. This allows the voters to decide who they want on the November ballot. It seems logical that the Commissioners will then appoint the victor of the primary election to fill the vacancies.
I guess we are going to continue to see Neal Richardson in Harris County Criminal Court at Law No. 1 and Henry Onken in Harris County Criminal Court at Law No. 3 for the near future.
