With the start of 2024, I am honored to begin my new position as Chair for the Special Prosecutions Unit (SPU) of Texas. SPU serves a vital function for our 81st Judicial District. SPU is a statewide office that assists district and county attorneys in prosecuting crimes in prisons and juvenile facilities across Texas and the civil commitment of sexually violent predators. With 3 TDCJ (prison) units in our district, the SPU provides a tremendous service to our district by prosecuting all crimes that happen behind prison walls (some of which are very violent and heinous), saving our office the additional resources these prosecutions require. I have proudly served on the board of SPU since taking office in 2017, and I am honored to serve as the 2024 Chair of SPU.
