Meet Judge Rogers

I am the current Judge in the 268th District Court in Fort Bend County, running for re-election.

I’m a 7th generation Texan, and have spent two decades practicing law. I have practiced in both state and federal courts, from 2003 until I was elected as a Texas Judge of a District Court.

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 completed my undergraduate business degree at Baylor University and my Master of Business Administration degree at Pepperdine University. I completed my law degree at Trinity Law School and my Master of Laws degree at Regent Law School.

I’ve been married for over 23 years to my wife Rebecca, and we have four children: Emily, John, Mac, and Will. We are members of St. Laurence Catholic Church. I have worked with my wife for more than ten years leading marriage and family preparation classes, promoting healthy marriages and strong families in Greater Houston.

In my free time, 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 in God and that we are all created equal under the law. I went to one of the very few Christian law schools in the country that teaches law from a Christian perspective. With that, I have always wanted to dedicate my life to serving others.

My family has always had a strong sense of service that started with my Great-Great Grandfather. In the 1950’s, his philanthropy was recognized by the community with a monument placed in front of the Harris County Courthouse in his memory. They used a bible to represent him and his service to the community. There it sat for half a century until liberal judges got involved and tore it down, and the monument became one of the first casualties of the woke cancel mob.

That’s one of the reasons I became a Judge. “Render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and unto God the things that are God’s” is something I take with me into the courtroom as part of my judicial philosophy. Not everything belongs to the government.

That’s why I believe in following the law, and following the constitution. Woke politics doesn’t belong in the courtroom. If we simply had more Judges who followed the law and the constitution, we would have a much better, safer country with less crime. It’s time to end the practice of legislating from the bench!

I believe that when you elect a Judge, they need to show up to work and do their job. In Texas, Judges are allowed to set their own schedules, and some of them never show up for work and I’m sick of it. I am sick and tired of Judges who see the backlog, see the crime, campaign and get elected, then do nothing!

Since my election, I have presided over 27 sexual assault cases, many of them against very young girls. Those cases were just sitting for years without resolution. Those victims and the defendants have now received justice.

I’ve worked hard these last few years to ensure everyone receives a fair and speedy trial, all while being diagnosed with advanced aggressive cancer. The doctors have removed the tumor and I have kicked cancer to the curb, all while continuing to follow and enforce the law from the bench!

Why I’m Running

I’m not afraid to get canceled and won’t give in to the woke political agenda. My judicial philosophy is simple, I follow the law and I enforce the law.

Because of this, two criminal defense lawyers tried to take control of my court room. I stood up to them and told them not to mess with me. They filed a judicial grievance against me with the State Judicial Commission. I know there is no justice in the judicial system unless we fight to ensure it exists, so I fought back.

I fought those attacks all the way to a special court of review appointed by Texas Supreme Court. They ruled I was right on the law and right on the Constitution!

I have seen and beat more of the system than most could ever hope. But I am not done yet. There are still many victims and many defendants who need justice. My oft used catch phrase in court is Let’s Get to Work. While a lot has been done, a lot more is needed to fix what is wrong with Texas justice.

I’m asking you to join our team! I am asking for your vote for re-election to the 268th District Court.
