Lawyer announces candidacy for 241st District Court

TYLER — A Tyler lawyer who has practiced in the city for more than two decades has become the first person to announce candidacy for 241st District Court judge in 2022. That’s according to our news partner KETK. Debby Gunter released a statement Tuesday afternoon saying that “every person should be allowed the opportunity to come before a fair, impartial judge who will hear both sides of the matter before making any decision.” The seat will be vacant for the 2022 election after longtime Judge Jack Skeen announced that he would retire after his current term. He is currently 75.
