November 2020 Elections: Texas Courts Wake Up Beaumont

    • Politics

In this episode, we are talking about the two highest courts in Texas – the Supreme Court, which handles civil stuff, and the Court of Criminal Appeals, which handles how people with criminal records are handled. I wasn’t able to coordinate interviews with anyone due to, you know, everything going on, but just stick with me for this short episode and we’ll take a look at these courts and why it is so important that you vote in them.

Candidate Spreadsheet

Texas Court of Criminal Appeals
– Man saved by US Supreme Court ruling in 2017
– Man executed during pandemic
– Sharon Killer, ahem, Keller

Texas Supreme Court
– Covid not a good enough excuse to get a mail in vote
– The death of paid sick leave
– Discrimination of same sex couples
