TEXAS MIDTERM 2026
WHY THIS RACE MATTERS
County Criminal Courts hear misdemeanor cases, such as DWI, theft of smaller items, and low-level drug charges.
WHO’S RUNNING
Brad Clark
Republican
If you're arrested for a misdemeanor in Tarrant County, like a family violence assault, a county criminal court judge decides your case. Brad Clark is the Republican judge of Court No. 5, which runs a Domestic Violence Program, and he is on the ballot this November.
Julya 'JujuBill' Billhymer
Democrat
County criminal courts decide misdemeanor cases, the less serious crimes, including family violence assaults. Julya Billhymer, the Democrat in the race for Court No. 5, has worked both sides of that world: as a patrol sergeant and as a defense lawyer.
