Learn the Issues Facing Harris County

Fierce With Pierce - Tami C Pierce for 180th Criminal Court Judge

Campaign Focus

Public Safety & Victims First

Harris County families deserve to feel safe. I will prioritize public safety and put victims at the center, ensuring violent offenders are held accountable and communities are protected.

Follow the law as written, not politics.
Respect lawful sentences and conditions to protect the public.
Treat victims with dignity at every stage.

Equal Justice — Fair & Impartial

Every person who enters the courtroom deserves fairness, integrity, and respect. I will listen to the facts, apply the law, and decide without fear or favor.

Treat every litigant with civility and respect.
Rule on the record, grounded in the Constitution and Texas law.
Keep politics out of the courtroom.

Responsible Bail that Fits the Facts

Bail should reflect the seriousness of the offense, a defendant’s history, and risk to the community. I oppose rubber‑stamp PR bonds for repeat and violent offenders.

Apply the new state requirements consistently for repeat/violent felonies.
Use judicial discretion to set appropriate amounts — neither excessive nor symbolic.
Require compliance and swift consequences for violations.

Accountability for Everyone in the Courtroom

Justice isn’t a slogan — it’s a process. I will hold all parties to high standards so outcomes are fair, lawful, and based on the record.

Demand well‑supported charge decisions and plea agreements.
Confirm defendants fully understand their rights before any plea is accepted.
Enforce deadlines and courtroom professionalism.

Cutting the Case Backlog

Delays deny justice to victims and defendants alike. I will run an efficient, respectful docket that moves cases while safeguarding due process.

Set clear expectations and realistic scheduling.
Resolve straightforward matters quickly to free resources for serious cases.
Use data and best practices to keep dockets current.
