I’m proud to share my new campaign website.
It’s a place to learn more about why I serve, how the Court works, and what I’m focused on as we head into 2026. Take a look and please consider joining Team Busby!

Behind each case is a person, a family, or a business depending on our courts to get it right. That's why I believe judges should approach every case with humility, study the arguments carefully, and decide impartially based on the law and the facts.
It is the honor of my career to serve the people of Texas. I’m asking for your vote to help me continue the work of delivering impartial justice every day.
It’s a great weekend to vote! Polls are open Saturday and Sunday. I took my mom to vote yesterday, and we ask you to join us in voting to re-elect me to the Supreme Court, Place 8!
As the cost of hiring a lawyer grows increasingly out of reach, I’m taking action to increase the supply of reliable legal help at prices Texans can afford.
Under proposed new rules, skilled paraprofessionals who pass an exam can become certified to help Texans with basic civil legal problems. These rules require training, testing, and supervision to ensure high standards of quality and ethics.
By leading efforts to reform the regulation of legal services, I’m helping more Texans access the advice they need.
Thank you to my friend Leo Vasquez @LV_HTX for his thoughtful endorsement of my re-election to the Supreme Court, Place 8! Early voting continues this weekend, and I’d be honored to have your vote to continue serving Texas.
Please consider asking your family and friends to join you in supporting me. Texans understand the importance of electing experienced, impartial, and hardworking judges, but many don’t know where to get good information about the candidates.
The @HoustonChron Editorial Board highlighted my commitment to judicial independence:
“‘I am not on a team,’ he told us. That’s what you want to hear from a judge.”
I’m proud to be included among its “best candidates on the 2026 Texas election ballot.”
Early voting continues through Friday, October 30, and I’d be honored to earn your vote!

The role of a judge is to apply the law faithfully, not to make it.
I’ve built my judicial career on giving all parties a fair hearing, considering their arguments carefully, and ruling impartially based on the law—without regard to politics, pressure, or personal preference.
That's a commitment Texans can continue to count on.

Receiving the support of two respected Houston legal organizations is especially meaningful. Thank you to the Association of Women Attorneys Houston and the Mexican American Bar Association of Houston for their endorsements and confidence in my record on the Supreme Court of Texas.

Justice is about more than deciding cases. It's also about making our legal system more accessible to the people it serves.
I’ve worked with judges, lawyers, and community leaders across Texas to make legal help more affordable and available and to make our courts more accessible and efficient.
It's part of my broader commitment to making our justice system work better for every Texan.

Much of my legal career and judicial service has been rooted in Houston. I have great respect for the officers who take on difficult responsibilities in service to the city each day.

Public service doesn't end when the courtroom empties.
I believe in doing more to give back to my fellow Texans. As a lawyer, I provided hundreds of hours of free legal aid. As a judge, I lead statewide efforts to help more Texans receive the legal assistance they need.
That commitment to service has guided me throughout my 28-year career as a lawyer and judge.

Every Texan deserves confidence that their case will be heard fairly and decided impartially according to the law.
Throughout my 14 years on the bench, I’ve approached every case with hard work, steady judgment, and an unwavering commitment to the rule of law.
That's the kind of leadership I believe Texans deserve on the Supreme Court of Texas.
Earning the confidence of those who know our courts best isn't about politics. It's about building a record of listening fairly, preparing diligently, and applying the law impartially.
Every Republican and Democrat in the Texas Senate voted to confirm me to the Supreme Court of Texas, and Texans later elected me statewide by more than one million votes.
I’m asking you to join them by supporting my re-election. Learn more about my background and record at BrettBusby.com.
