Tarrant CountyCriminal CourtNo. 1
Republican
County criminal courts handle misdemeanors, the lower-level crimes in Tarrant County. David Cook is the Republican judge of Court No. 1, and he is on the ballot this November. He is not the state representative of the same name.
We could not find a detailed biography of Judge Cook in the sources we could open. The county lists him as the judge of Court No. 1, and a Tarrant County Republican Party page showed him on the November 2022 ballot for re-election.
Judges aren't allowed to take sides on these values — it's against judicial ethics rules. The best clue to how a judge thinks is the party they run with.
