Beau Miller
Since January 1, 2019, I have been the Presiding Judge of the 190th Judicial (Civil) District Court, Harris County, Texas. I have empaneled 106 juries, tried 80 jury trials to verdict, and presided over 142 bench trials in the seven years I have been on the bench.
Before election to the bench in 2018, I had a diverse civil trial practice, representing a wide range of clients, both plaintiffs and defendants, in commercial, products liability, and Section 1983 litigation, among others. From 2001 through 2003,
I was a law clerk to The Honorable Ricardo H. Hinojosa, United States District Court, Southern District of Texas, McAllen Division. I received my J.D. from The University of Texas School of Law.

My first priority is to the job of judging. I will continue the work of impartially resolving civil cases before my court as fairly, equitably, and efficiently as the law permits—and always with an eye toward the interest of justice being served.
An equally important priority is meeting the legal needs of the residents of Harris County. Harris County is the third most populous in the United States. There is significant work that needs to be done to size-up our judicial infrastructure to meet the needs of our current and future populations. In the last two years I led state-wide efforts to add new courts. We were successful in getting five new civil courts starting in September 2026 - the first time a civil court has been added since 1983.
