Sam Lays out his Mission

December 3rd, 2007

As a lawyer, I have practiced for over 20 years and have tried dozens of cases. My life’s pursuit has taught me the value of our jury system and the right to trial by a jury of one’s peers. Our forefathers understood the importance of the jury system—it is a part of our history and our heritage. In my view and in the view of many others, the current Supreme Court of Texas has been undermining the jury system, particularly in civil trials, and this has been of great concern to me both as a lawyer and as a citizen.

After much consideration and consultation with friends, family and peers, I have decided to seek election to the Supreme Court of Texas. My legal experience and qualifications match any of the current justices but I will work to bring balance to the court, restoring a fair system of justice for all Texans.
