SAN MARCOS — Charmaine Wilde, a former Hays County Assistant District Attorney and former Hays County Bar Association President, has announced her run to become the 207th District Court Judge.
“I’m running for judge so we can continue to have judges with experience and knowledge in all areas of the law,” Wilde said.
Wilde is one of four Republicans running for the 207th District Court. The Honorable Judge Jack Robison currently presides over the 207th court and is not seeking re-election.
“Judges are public servants who must be prepared to lead and take control. I am that candidate in this election,” Wilde said. “From Baylor Law School and throughout my career, from prosecutor to private advocate, I have put in the work to be ready to serve our communities on day one.”
The 207th District includes Hays, Caldwell and Comal counties. District courts have jurisdiction in felony criminal cases, as well as divorce and other civil matters. The 207th court was created by the legislature with a preference for criminal cases. Wilde says her years of working in both criminal and civil law give her the experience needed for this office.
“My career is marked by consistent focus on building our communities and protecting families,” she said. “I look at my work as both a job and service which helps bring peace to our community. I will continue to bring that energy to the 207th court as the judge if elected.”
Early voting for the March 1 Primary begins on Feb. 14. The last day to register to vote in time for the March primary is Jan. 31, and the last day to apply for a ballot by mail (received in the Hays County elections office) is Feb. 18.
