Civil District Judge, 189th Judicial District
Vance Christopher
Republican
Accountability
What will you do to promote the just, prompt, and affordable resolution of civil cases that come before your court?
I will go to the courthouse every day. I will work every day. I will hold hearings for those who want them. I will try cases and I will rule timely. I will treat all parties and their lawyers with courtesy and fairness. I will base my rulings on the law, the facts, and common sense.
Court System
What specific actions would you take to ensure the timely resolution of cases while maintaining fairness for all parties?
I will set docket control orders in place and I will apply them fairly and reasonably to assure resolution on the merits as much as possible. As stated above, I will work every day and consistently apply the law as it is written. And I will rule, and do so in a timely fashion. I know what lawyers and clients go through in the litigation process and in the courtroom based on my 40-plus years of trial practice. To the best of my ability I intend to put that experience to good use for the citizens of Harris County.
