The buttons are popping off my shirt today, and not because I haven’t been exercising.

This morning, the Dallas Morning News has come out with it’s editorial endorsements for the Family District Courts in Dallas County. My favorite Judge, Dennise Garcia, gets the nod for her court, the 303rd State District Court.

Every now and then, I brag about her on this blog. But, being married to her, you’d expect that, right?

So, why not take the word of Dallas’ leading newspaper instead?

Here’s what they said about her:

“Judge Dennise Garcia seems a rising star, having caught her stride during her first term on a bench that has seen a fair amount of turnover in recent years and could use stability. Judge Garcia, 38, a Dallas Democrat, is respected by her peers and is developing a solid courtroom demeanor. The fact that she brings ethnic diversity to the family courts, where she is the only Hispanic judge, is an added plus…
We recommend another term for Judge Garcia.”
