District 406 Judge David E. Garcia
“The main thing is that I’ve never forgotten that I am a public servant. Being appointed a judge or elected a judge is not a prize. It’s not a reward. It’s an opportunity to serve at a higher level. My goal is simply to work hard every day in order to move cases in this court,” Garcia said. He added, “I promise to treat every person and every case with respect and dignity.” “I like to think that I have learned from the four current judges. One of the reasons I have been able to stay at this post is because I was able to advance my judicial career and decisions a little bit quicker than I think they were expecting. I had great teachers in them, great role models,” Garcia said. Garcia is a big believer in second chances. That’s why he plans to continue the programs that 406th District Court Judge Oscar J. Hale Jr. started. This includes the specialty courts. “My plan is to continue what he started, programs such as the Veterans Treatment, the Drug Court program, which I preside over now. It’s a program that Judge Hale started. That was handed over to me about three years ago. I plan to continue those programs. He was one of the ones that pioneered the Courts in Schools. I plan to continue that,” Garcia said.
