Justice Harriet O'Neill's Seat Open for 2010

Posted on August 6, 2009 by D. Todd Smith

In a news release issued today, the Texas Supreme Court has announced that Justice Harriet O'Neill (pictured) will not seek re-election when her term ends at the end of 2010.  Justice O'Neill has not confirmed her post-Court plans, although rumors have swirled that she may run for Attorney General.

Two intermediate appellate justices Jim Moseley (Dallas) and Rick Strange (Eastland) have already declared their intention to run for Justice O'Neill's seat.  Both are Republicans, so it appears they will face off in the primary.
