Cecilia and I are deeply saddened by the passing of Justice Kristin Guiney.
I was honored to appoint her to the 232nd District Court in Harris County. She dedicated her life to public service as a prosecutor, trial court judge, and Justice on the First Court of Appeals. She also gave generously of her time to Star Court, helping those less fortunate build better lives.
