Judge David Peeples not drivvintage patagonia fleece pulloveren
Politics patagonia guide jacket 2 jacket1have colored many of the plot twists in the months that have followed Travis County District Attorney Rosemary Lehmberg s drunken driving arrest in April.
Some liberals have feared who Republican Gov. Rick Perry might appoint in left leaning Travis County if the Democratic Lehmberg is removed from office, while Lehmberg has decried Perpatagonia guide jacket 2 jacket3ry s threat to veto state funding from her office unless she resigned as partisan and misguided.
Judge David Peeples, himself a Perry appointee, was tapatagonia better sweater ukpped by Williamson County District Judge patagonia black hole duffel reviewBilly Ray Stubblefield in May to preside over the lawsuit aimed at forcing Lehmberg from office.
Peeples declined to comment on the case, as did three of his colleagues the American Statesman interviewed about the judge. But they all desdiscount patagonia swimwearcribed him as a thoughtful, carefpatagonia guide jacket 2 jacket0ul jurist who is well respected across the political spectrum.
He s a conservative guy, said Scott McCown, who until this summer led the left leaning Center for Public Policy Priorities think tpatagonia ultralight hoody reviewank in Austin. That s his reputation. But he s fair, and he s a judge that applies the law. He s not driven by an ideology.
Nathan Hecht, chief justice of the Texas Supreme Court, suggested Peeples is wepatagonia rain jackets for women best pricesll suited for removal cases, calling him a judicial gold standard.
When you have somebody like David in a situation like this, you know he s just going to be above reproach, he said.

The judge s legal career has spanned decades and new $329 m's patagonia primaloft h2no alpine climbing ski nano storm jacket xxlcourtrooms, from his early years working in law firms to trial and appellate courts. For more than 17 years, he has served as the presiding judge of the Fourth Administrativpatagonia outlet store 3abne Judicial Region, a position then Gov. George W. Bush appointed him to in 1996 and that Perry most recently reappointed him to in 2012.
He first became interested in law at Austin College, where he majored in government before getting a master s and law degrees at the University of Texas. Starting in the 1970s, he worked as an associate at firms in Houston and San Antonio, and in 1981 he became a district judge in Bexar County. Seven years later, he became the first Republican elected to the 4th Court of Appeals in San Antonio, and then, in 1995, he returned to work as a trial judge in district court in Bexar County.
patagonia guide jacket 2 jacket2Alex Wilson Albright, a senior lecturer at the University of Texas law school, said Peeples didn t like the appellate court as much as trial court.
He likes being in there with the people, trying to solve problems, said Albright, who has served with Peeples on a Texas Supreme Court advisory committee for about 20 years.
McCown, a retired Travis County district judgpatagonia guide jacket 2 jackete who is a professor at the University of Texas law school, said it s unusual for a judge to leave the appellate court to go back to being a trial judge. Peeples was acclaimed on the appeals court and could have kept his seat for as long as he wanted, McCown said. He gave up the prestige, the money, and went back to do more work because he realized it made him happier.
