What Are Attorneys Saying About the Race?

By Kurt Kuhn

Since I began my campaign for our Third Court of Appeals fourteen months ago, I have been humbled to receive the support of over 430 leading attorneys across the district. As we continue the State Bar of Texas judicial poll, I wanted to share with you–in their own words–why so many of our colleagues are supporting my campaign.


“Kurt can be counted on to apply the law as written, fairly and consistently, and to work with the other members of the court to provide a collegial and respected Third Court of Appeals.” — Bob O’Boyle
“Kurt is the kind of person who will roll up his sleeves and work hard because he appreciates the importance of justice being both accurate and timely.” — Marcy Greer
“I support Kurt because he is unquestionably the most experienced and qualified candidate for this important appellate position. I trust Kurt to follow the law ethically and professionally.” — Joe Crews
“Everything Kurt does, he does well. Kurt will work hard, be even handed, and be a great addition to the Third Court of Appeals.” — Steve McConnico
“I am proud to support Kurt for the Third Court. He has demonstrated the intelligence and integrity we need for the court.” — Mark Kincaid
“Kurt is a dedicated, hard-working, intelligent attorney, with a great demeanor. He will be an excellent appellate justice.” — Mary Dietz
“Kurt is committed to ending the backlog of cases awaiting adjudication. Kurt’s intelligence, work ethic and passion for justice will make him an exemplary justice.” — Stacy Allen
“Kurt is a very hard-working appellate lawyer, and prepared to handle the complex cases that appear before the Third Court of Appeals.” — Amanda Taylor
“Kurt is known across Texas for his ability to understand and deal with the most complicated legal issues. He will make an excellent appellate justice.” — David E. Keltner
“Kurt Kuhn not only knows the law, he understands how the court’s legal decisions affect the lives of ordinary people.” — Beverly Reeves
“Kurt’s appellate experience will help continue the much-needed progress made on the Third Court in the past year.” — Linda Bayless
“Kurt is a highly intelligent, highly motivated appellate attorney who will provide insight and brilliance to the court.” — Todd Wong

I am the only candidate in the race who is board-certified in civil appellate law, and the only candidate with significant civil and criminal appellate experience. I have dedicated my legal career to the Texas appellate courts, and if elected I will be just as dedicated to making the Third Court an institution of which all Texans can be proud.

The ongoing bar poll is an important part of the judicial election process, as it is one of the best ways for attorneys to let the public know who is most qualified to serve as a judge. I would be honored if you would join these leading attorneys in supporting me in the bar poll.
