After more then twenty of year of being a public servant Judge Deborah Stricklin, 180th District Court of Harris County Texas has decided to retire. Earlier in the year she had made it known that she would not be seeking another term to the bench. She is married to Don Stricklin, former Judge of the 337th District Court of Harris County, Texas. She was not playing on leaving the bench so soon, but her timetable was moved up by an unforseen change of circumstance for the better. I wish the Stricklins are enjoyable retirement. It is not common that people leave their chose profession on their terms.
It seems logical that Governor Perry will appoint Marc Brown, who is running for the bench as a republican to the bench. This would give him an advantage over his opponent. Curiously, that would make another set of spouses on the bench. Mr. Brown is married to Susan Brown who presides over the 185th District Court of Harris County, Texas.
