Welcome. I run an efficient & fair court. It's good government.
And with hard work, we are making Hays County courts more open and accountable.
See more below.
Giving more defendants & victims their day in court
Judge Tanner efficiently runs the 483rd Court.
Defendants have a constitutional right to a speedy trial,
Victims deserve to be heard, and
the Public deserves an efficient court.
more trials = less wait = More justice
The correlation is strong: courts with serious trial settings reduce the wait.
Hays County Data reported to the Office of Court Administration, Nov. 4, 2024. Courts are randomly ordered.

My statement
Ultimately, the voters will consider this mistake against a record of giving timely jury trials to inmates waiting in jail/on bond and victims waiting to be heard--an efficient and working court.

Presiding with energy and integrity
Judge Tanner works every day to inspire confidence in our legal system.
- He is fair.
- He runs an efficient, open court that resolves Hays County's disputes now, not years later.
- He takes care of the people who come before him—jurors, plaintiffs, defendants, and attorneys.
Judge Tanner's commitment to our courts arises from unique experience:
- Handled over 150 jury trials as an advocate or judge.
- Served Texas as a determined but fair prosecutor (criminal law).
- Represented the private sector for plaintiffs and defendants (civil law).
Judge Tanner also brings a unique perspective to the bench, gained from a background that includes:
- Teaching Texas State and UT Law students as an adjunct professor.
- Studying in Colombia as a Fulbright Scholar.
- Working on justice reform and transparency projects to root out corruption in Mexico, Colombia, and Peru.
All together, Judge Tanner gives Hays County an experienced, trustworthy, hard-working judge to preserve our courts.
Let's keep this unique public servant on the bench of the 483rd District Court, Hays County.
