AUSTIN—Texans for Lawsuit Reform PAC (TLRPAC) today endorsed Kevin Patrick Yeary of Austin for reelection to the Place 4 on the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals.

“Each election cycle, TLRPAC supports judicial candidates who respect the rule of law and understand the importance of a fair and efficient legal system in our state,” TLRPAC General Counsel Lee Parsley said. “Kevin Patrick Yeary brings decades of experience to this seat, having served as an appellate prosecutor in three of the state’s largest district attorney’s offices for 20 years prior to serving on the bench. He has done important work on behalf of those wrongly convicted, focusing on achieving justice for all. He believes in upholding the rule of law and our constitution, and understands that legislators—not judges—create our laws.”
