• Welcome to my official website! "Much has been said lately about how “tough” the current Harris County judiciary is. Prominently missing from those boasts is the word “fair.” It is time we brought fairness back into the Harris County courthouse. Justice – with fairness and courtesy toward all."
  • Shawna L. Reagin for Judge "To me, the most important attribute for a judge to have is intellectual honesty. A judge should know the law, keep apprised of the law and aspire to follow the law. However, she must not be so rigid that justice is sacrificed for the sake of technicality, or worse, to reach an outcome that is politically popular. A judge should not be so desperate to keep the bench that she kowtows to the prosecution’s every whim."
  • Shawna L. Reagin for Judge "While still in law school, I served an academic internship with the Harris County D.A.'s office and I have been a solo practitioner of criminal law since I was licensed in 1989. I have handled thousands of felony cases at both the trial and appellate levels, from death penalty capitals on down. I have spoken at seminars throughout the state and have published numerous articles on criminal law issues."
  • Shawna L. Reagin - 2009 Campaign "The judiciary actually has more of an impact on most people's daily lives than the majority of other elected offices, yet judicial races tend to be ignored by everyone except lawyers."

My Judicial Philosophy

Although the doctrine of stare decisis is an important one, in terms of bringing a certain amount of stability to the legal system, to blindly follow precedent to the exclusion of all other considerations robs American jurisprudence of the flexibility necessary to justice.
