Tarrant CountyJustice of the PeacePrecinct 6
Republican
A Justice of the Peace is the judge you see for a ticket, a small money dispute or an eviction case, and is often the first courtroom people ever enter. Jason Charbonnet, a Republican, is the Precinct 6 judge, on the ballot without an opponent.
Charbonnet is a Fort Worth native who worked as a police officer and investigator, mostly as a detective, before becoming a judge. He says he will 'listen, follow the law, and refrain from legislating from the bench.'
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.
