Gloria Sanchez Glover
For the last decade I have served our community advocating for families involved in the child welfare system. I began my career as a volunteer law student with the Harris County STAR Drug Court. There, I represented the interest of children and parents as the families participated in services to strengthen the family unit. As an assistant attorney for the OAG, I established financial support and conservatorship orders for the families in Harris County. As an associate judge for the 312th District Family Court, I was able to use my knowledge of child support, addiction, trauma, neglect and abuse to make rulings to resolve cases. In 2025, I rejoined the Harris County Attorney’s Office an a senior attorney protecting children and families.
I believe justice should be timely. I want to tackle the docket, set clear expectations and make prompt rulings so that cases move forward without unnecessary delay. Additionally, I would like to apply a trauma-informed approach that upholds the law while treating everyone with dignity and respect, reducing harm and aiding long-term outcomes to stabilizes our families. By fostering an environment of dignity, the court can better support connections to community treatment, diversion programs, educational engagement and rehabilitation services. Juvenile courts work best when they are turning points. That requires addressing the underlying reasons youth enter the court system such as trauma, family instability and school disengagement.
