Elect Brian Warren
Who I Am
I have dedicated my entire legal career—24 years—to the pursuit of justice in criminal law. Five years as an Assistant District Attorney prosecuting serious felonies (never losing a case), twelve years as a criminal defense attorney (trying 75 cases, representing everyone from indigent defendants to professional athletes), and now seven years as your judge.
Having stood on both sides has profoundly shaped how I dispense justice. I understand what prosecutors need to prove their cases, what defense attorneys need to protect constitutional rights, victims’ pain and need for closure, and defendants’ humanity and capacity for redemption.
From Houston Chronicle
“Warren, a Democrat who was elected as presiding judge of the 209th Criminal Court, defeating a judge who berated Black Lives Matter, said he supports ‘intelligent bond reform’ in his request to join the case.”
“’The pandemic has brought this into stark relief,’ Warren said. He noted that bail has disproportionately affected people of color. ‘The implementation of bond reform is a complex issue. It requires well-reasoned and intelligent proposals,’ his motion said.”
“’We must work harder to change a system which has historically been discriminatory towards people of color and those who are destitute and who can barely put food on the table, let alone make a large bond for a family member,’ Warren said.”
