Thomas J. Hurt for Kerr County Court at Law

02/17/2026

*** EARLY VOTING TRAFFIC PLAN ***

The traffic plan for early voting at the Hill Country Youth Event Center has been modified, effective Feb. 12.

To protect public safety, we ask that individuals stay clear of the lanes of traffic bordered by barricades. This will prevent both accidents with pedestrians and dangerous backups onto TX27.
(The traffic pattern plan is detailed in the image below.)

The usual 100-foot electioneering prohibition remains in effect.

Early voting begins on Tuesday, Feb. 17.

Two early polling locations will be functioning:
• 𝗞𝗲𝗿𝗿𝘃𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗲:
Hill Country Youth Event Center, 3785 TX27
or
• 𝗜𝗻𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗺:
West Kerr County Courthouse Annex, 510 College Street

Complete early voting hours and dates, sample ballots and much more election-related information is all available on the Kerr County, Texas, Elections webpage:

It was an honor to join Matt Long today and speak directly to hardworking Texans about the future of Kerr County Court at Law.

I’ve dedicated my career to the rule of law — first as a prosecutor, holding offenders accountable and standing up for victims, and now as a defense attorney, ensuring that the Constitution is respected and the law is applied fairly.

Our courts should not be political. They should not be activist. And they should never legislate from the bench.

A County Court at Law judge’s job is simple but critical: apply the law as written, protect public safety, respect constitutional rights, and treat every person who walks into the courtroom with fairness and consistency. That’s the kind of judge I will be.

I’m running to bring steady leadership, accountability, and Texas values back to the courtroom. Our community deserves a court it can trust.

Make plans to attend the Kerr County Judge & Commissioner Forum hosted by the Republican Women of Kerr County at Tucker Hall.

This is the last scheduled opportunity to speak with these candidates all in one room. The Republican Women of Kerr County do not endorse during primary elections. Attend this forum to hear fair, balanced questions, as candidates answer questions related to the office they are seeking, issues important to voters, the future of Kerr County, and more.

Visit with County Court at Law, District Clerk, County Clerk, and Justice of the Peace candidates as well.

Meet & Greet begins at 5:30, with the forum beginning promptly at 6pm. This is an informational forum, open to the community. Bring a family member, invite a friend.
