Meet Judge Rogers
I am Judge Steve Rogers, the current Judge of the 268th District Court in Fort Bend County, and I am running for re-election.
I’m a seventh-generation Texan and spent two decades practicing law before being elected to the bench. I practiced in both state and federal courts from 2003 until I was elected as a Texas District Court Judge.
I was born and raised in Houston and attended The Kinkaid School and Second Baptist Church, where I was baptized at 10 years old. I earned my undergraduate business degree from Baylor University, my Master of Business Administration from Pepperdine University, my law degree from Trinity Law School, and my Master of Laws degree from Regent Law School.
I’ve been married for more than 25 years to my wife, Rebecca, and we have four children: Emily, John, Mac, and Will. We are members of St. Laurence Catholic Church. For more than a decade, Rebecca and I have helped lead marriage and family preparation classes, working to promote healthy marriages and strong families throughout Greater Houston.
When I’m not on the bench, I raise Olde English Babydoll Southdown sheep on my farm in Needville, Texas.
What I Believe
I believe every person who enters my courtroom deserves fair and equal justice under the law.
A judge’s responsibility is not to make the law, rewrite the law, or bend it to fit political pressure or public opinion. A judge’s duty is to follow the law as it is written, apply it fairly, and protect the integrity of our justice system.
That principle has guided me every day I’ve served on the 268th District Court.
I also believe judges have a responsibility to show up, do the work, and deliver justice. When I took the bench, victims and defendants were waiting while serious criminal cases remained unresolved. I got to work clearing that backlog and moving cases through the courtroom.
I have now disposed of more than 35 sexual assault cases, many involving very young victims. These are difficult cases involving real victims, real families, and dangerous criminals. They deserve a justice system that does its job.
Justice delayed is justice denied.
My commitment is simple: follow the law, ensure every person receives a fair and speedy trial, hold criminals accountable, and deliver justice for victims and their families.
Why I’m Running
Serving the people of Fort Bend County as your District Judge has been one of the greatest honors of my life.
During my time on the bench, I have worked tirelessly to clear a long-overdue case backlog and ensure that victims and their families are no longer left waiting for justice.
I have presided over some of the most serious criminal cases our justice system faces. I have seen firsthand the devastating consequences violent and sexual crimes have on victims, children, families, and our community.
Dangerous criminals belong behind bars, not back in our neighborhoods.
At the same time, justice demands fairness. Every person who enters my courtroom deserves to be treated equally under the law. I have served with integrity, fairness, and impartiality, and I will continue to resist political pressure, public opinion, and outside influence.
My duty has always been to follow the law as it is written, and it always will be. I will never rewrite the law from the bench.
I’ve delivered justice for victims and held dangerous criminals accountable. My record speaks for itself.
There is still work to do, and I am asking for your vote to continue that work as Judge of the 268th District Court.
I respectfully ask for your vote and your continued support.
– Judge Steve Rogers
