Judicial Poll2017
2017 Judicial Survey
The San Antonio Criminal Defense Lawyers Associa�on conducts the Judicial Survey on a regular basis, and the results of the 2017 Survey are contained in this report. The survey is sent out to all prac�cing a�orneys in Bexar County who are in good standing with the State Bar of Texas and have valid addresses registered with that organiza�on. The survey is intended to measure how each Judge performs, and to promote and maintain judicial accountability to the ci�zens of Bexar County, and with the elec�on cycle approaching, this is invaluable informa�on for voters. Readers can vote based on performance, not party affilia�on. The scope of the survey is limited to elected Judges. The instruc�ons in the cover le�er ask that respondents only evaluate Judges of whom they have personal knowledge. The results from all 419 surveys received have been included. The ques�ons are simple and are meant to avoid a popularity contest.
1. Does this Judge work hard? 2. Is this Judge punctual? 3. Does this Judge follow the law? 4. Does this Judge have good judicial temperament? 5. Does this Judge rule impar�ally? 6. Do you approve of this Judge's performance?
