The Fillmore Family: Chrissie, Bob, Judy, and Katie

"Justice Bob Fillmore is a man of honor, integrity and experience. He ensures that appeals that come before him on the Texas Fifth Court of Appeals are resolved fairly and in accordance with the law as written. Texas is fortunate Justice Fillmore has chosen to devote his time and considerable talent to public service, and we need to keep him on the appellate court bench."

- Governor Rick Perry

Dear Friends,

Welcome to my website. I am honored to serve Texas as a Justice of the Fifth Court of Appeals, Place 12. The Fifth Court of Appeals rules on appeals taken from civil and criminal cases tried in district and county courts in the Texas counties of Collin, Dallas, Grayson, Hunt, Kaufman and Rockwall.

I believe in judicial restraint; I interpret and apply the Constitution and laws of the United States and Texas as written and do not legislate public policy from the bench. I am committed to the rule of law. I am respectful of the rights of all parties that must have access to the courts. And I am prepared to ensure the continued fairness, integrity and independence of the Texas judiciary.

As an incumbent Justice, I must periodically stand for re-election to retain my seat on the Fifth Court of Appeals. My name will appear on the ballot in 2012 for re-election to a full six year term. This website contains information about my qualifications, news relating to my campaign, endorsements of Texas leaders who want to keep me on the Court, and means for you to help.

I welcome your support of my campaign, and I would be honored to have your vote.
