MISDEMEANOR JUDGE LEADER BOARD 2026
All Elected Misdemeanor Judges and their trial totals for 2026
September 4, 2026 – Judge Andrew Wright Continues to Set the Pace in Harris County Misdemeanor Trials
When it comes to jury trials in the Harris County misdemeanor courts, County Criminal Court at Law No. 7 Judge Andrew Wright has established himself as the judge to catch.
Wright finished 2025 as the leader among Harris County’s misdemeanor judges with 25 jury trials, narrowly edging Judge Erika Ramirez, who finished with 24. Rather than slowing down in 2026, Wright has widened the gap.
Through the latest Show Me The Justice numbers, Wright has now presided over 21 jury trials in 2026, giving him a commanding lead over Ramirez with 15, and judge Shannon Baldwin and judge Linda Garcia with 13 each.
What makes Wright’s numbers particularly noteworthy is the variety of cases reaching juries. His 2026 trials have included DWI and enhanced DWI cases, family-violence assaults, unlawful restraint, trespass and other misdemeanor charges. The results have gone both ways, with prosecutors securing convictions and defense lawyers winning a substantial number of acquittals.
That’s what a jury-trial court is supposed to look like. Cases that cannot be resolved get their day in court, lawyers get an opportunity to try cases, and Harris County citizens ultimately decide the outcome.
With four months remaining in 2026, Wright is already approaching his 25-trial total from all of 2025. At his present pace, Court 7 could finish the year with approximately 30 jury trials.
For the second consecutive year, one thing is clear at the Harris County Criminal Justice Center:
When it comes to putting misdemeanor cases in front of juries, Judge Andrew Wright and County Criminal Court at Law No. 7 are leading the courthouse.
