The cornerstone of justice is fairness and impartiality. Diversity of experience and perspective is vital in order to ensure the law is applied with meaningful equity. The Texas Judicial System is purposefully reserved and tailored to a fraction of people who are charged with representing all Texans. Judge Jones has worked hard to ensure just treatment and fairness is applied to every person that enters the courtroom. If you want to elect a judge who will apply the law in a fair and impartial manner regardless of financial status, locality, educational background, special interests or "connections" begin supporting us today!
Judge Jones was raised by his dad, a retired U.S. Army Veteran and his mother, whose passing on Valentine's Day just weeks after DaSean's return from his second tour in Iraq motivated him to pursue his dream of attending law school. As a child, DaSean was able to live abroad and visit historical sites such as Auschwitz, Anne Frank's house, and other notable examples of social injustice and abuse of power. Each of those encounters helped mold his perspective on how to treat people and why it is important to apply fairness and neutrality as a member of the judiciary.

In November 2018, Judge DaSean Jones made history and became the first combat veteran and minority to preside over the 180th Criminal District Court. As a Judge, DaSean believes that "fair is fair" and the law must be applied as it is written and not adjusted or abated to support subjective interests. Financial status, connections, and other variables not available to everyone should not come into play in regard to the administration of justice.
DaSean ran for office because he was offended by the leaders who didn't seem to understand the sacrifices of so many men and women he served with who were willing to or paid the ultimate sacrifice because of a belief in this great nation.

Judge Jones is married and has two children. As a father and decorated Army officer with over 17 years of service, DaSean was appalled at how people were being treated in in civilian courts.
Repeatedly witnessing first-hand many judges were closed-minded and prejudiced, he decided to take a look at running for office. After living a childhood as a "military brat" and also serving his country during a time of war, DaSean was rather foreign to the systematic oppression he saw too often in courtrooms. |
SUPPORT THE CAMPAIGN
CONTRIBUTION DISCLAIMER: Under Texas law, judicial campaigns must follow donation limits and rules set by the Texas Ethics Commission. Individuals and non-corporate entities may contribute a maximum of $5,000 for each election. The primary, any resulting primary runoff, and the general election are treated as separate elections with reset donation limits for each. For purposes of the $5,000 limit per person, any donation by a person's minor child/dependent counts toward that person's limit. Please note that Texas law has changed so that the non-dependent spouse of a donor can also give $5,000 and it does not count towards the limit for the other adult/s in the household (example: an adult couple living in the same house can donate $5,000 each, in separate donations). Texas judicial campaigns may not accept donations from traditional corporations; however, professional corporations and partnerships that do not include a traditional corporate member may contribute (example: PLLC, LLP, PC, and other typical law firm entity types). A law firm entity and its members may donate up to $30,000 maximum per election, as long as no individual donation exceeds $5,000 (example: a firm donates $5,000, and five members donate $5,000 each, for a grand total of $30,000). Total contributions from general-purpose political committees, including monetary and in-kind contributions, may not exceed $300,000. If you have questions about these rules, please contact the campaign.
