AUSTIN, TX– Today, Texas Democrats are honored and excited to welcome current Republican statewide Court of Criminal Appeals Judge Lawrence "Larry" Meyers to the party. Judge Meyers filed today to run for the Supreme Court against Jeff Brown in Place 6 as a Democrat. Meyers’ party switch will make him the first statewide Democratic officeholder since 1998.
Judge Meyers was the first Republican elected to the Court of Criminal Appeals in 1992 and is its longest serving member.
