Occupation
Judge
I have been the 314th District Court Judge since January 2019. As such, I have presided over a wide variety of cases spanning from child welfare, to delinquency, to immigration and adoptions. I have consistently scored high on the Houston Bar Association's judicial poll; where attorneys who have appeared in my courtroom rate me according to their personal experience. Prior to being elected judge in 2019, I was an assistant county attorney assigned to the Child Protection Division in the Harris County Attorney's Office as such I was the court chief in the 315th District Court on child welfare cases filed by TDFPS. I have both attorney and judicial experience in this area of law in which I am seeking re election. Michelle Moore 314th District
