About Randall Slagle

I’ve been a licensed attorney in Texas for 20 years, dedicating my entire career to public service. For the past 11 years, I have served as Justice of the Peace for Travis County, Precinct Two. Before serving as JP, I was an assistant Travis County Attorney and an Assistant Travis County District Attorney for almost a decade. There is not a case filed in Justice Court that I haven’t seen before, and I’m well equipped to handle with fairness, empathy and compassion.

In 2014, I  I was proud to carry the banner for the Travis County Democratic Party to defeat the last incumbent Republican JP in Travis County. With the support of so many people, we built the largest JP campaign in Travis County history, and brought fairness back to the courtroom. Because of our work in constant field engagement with our constituents over the years, Precinct Two has remained solidly blue since my first election.

Since becoming your judge, I have worked hard to make Precinct Two the most accessible, people-focused court in Texas. We were the first court in Travis County to completely modernize the entire office from the ground up, transforming it into one of the most paperless courts in the nation. Judges and court staff from all over Texas regularly travel to JP 2 to learn how to improve their courtrooms. By embracing smart technology and innovation, we have expanded access to Justice while becoming much better stewards of the environment.

Justice and fairness have always been my top priorities. Every week, I meet people facing some of life’s toughest moments. Providing empathy and kindness, while also following the law, is something every person deserves when they come to court.

In this most recent term, JP 2 has ensured that indigent tenants have access to an attorney to represent them in court free of cost, expanding access to justice. We’ve also implemented a first of its kind juvenile diversion program that helps our youth avoid convictions that could greatly impact their futures. Our court is proud to further innovate by offering virtual settings for any party by request, and has seen participation increase as a result. The ability to attend court remotely in convenient when obstacles, such as a lack of transportation, may have prevented it in the past.

It would be an honor to continue serving the people of Travis County. I’m proud to run for re-election on the Democratic ticket, ensuring that Precinct Two remains solidly Blue.

Thank you for your past support. I hope to earn your vote once again.
