My name is Joe Marr Wilson. More than three decades ago, I started my career in Amarillo as a trial lawyer with a burning desire to help my fellow citizens obtain justice. Over 6,500 clients later, my desire has not dwindled and continues to be the guiding force behind my run for office.
District Courts in the Texas Panhandle hear almost exclusively family and criminal cases. As one of only fourteen attorneys in the entire State of Texas board certified by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization in both family and criminal law, I can bring far more experience as well as a unique perspective to the bench. I also practice civil, real estate and probate law and have an in-depth understanding of all areas of the law.
I have spent my entire career in the courtroom trying the exact types of cases heard by the Judge of the District Court. Any day that I am not in a courtroom somewhere in the area is the exception rather than the rule. I have an expert grasp of the legal and practical considerations involved in presiding over this court along with a temperament that will inspire confidence in the decisions I make. I know firsthand what it takes to be the Judge of a District Court and due to my vast experience, I would be able to hit the ground running. I will take the bench prepared to do the job.
