THANK YOU!

Over the months I traveled the state in my campaign for the Republican nomination for Texas Attorney General, I was gratified and humbled by the support I received from so many—

  • Texans hopeful for the future but concerned about the course of our society.

  • Parents wanting to build a better life for their children but worried about unwelcome changes creeping into our culture and undermining education and family values.

  • Citizens and small business owners, ranchers, and farmers investing every day in the place they’re proud to call home but who see the costs and deadly consequences of the failure to enforce our immigration laws or hold wrongdoers to account.

I heard you. I still hear you. And, I will always serve as a voice for you.

I am so grateful for every Texan who supported me and for the unwavering confidence of my husband Tony, our family, and our friends.

I will continue to work for the future of this state and for our conservative values. We are in a battle for the future of Texas and I will do all in my power to stand for the rule of law, integrity, and honesty in all aspects of our society and government.

Thank you, and may God bless you.

    Eva’s Story

    I grew up in Houston’s East End, the middle of seven children born to hard-working immigrants. My father worked as a welder and my mother earned what she could doing cleaning jobs. Though neither of them went to school beyond the sixth grade, they knew the promise and opportunities that would come with education and what it could mean for their children.

    My parents taught me the importance of faith and family and the value of freedom. Patriotic to the core, they cherished their American citizenship and the opportunity to prosper here. They pushed their children to excel in school. Through the power of their example, I learned to work hard and to dream big.

    Growing up with little money in a family of nine meant making sacrifices and finding ways to overcome barriers. As a young teen, I worked an evening shift at a drapery factory and an assortment of other jobs throughout my teenage years, helping my family to make ends meet and saving to finance my dream of going to college.  All the hard work paid off.

    I put myself through The University of Houston, earned a law degree from South Texas College of Law, partnered with my husband to build a marriage and family, and managed a successful law practice before becoming a judge in 1999. Over the course of the next 22 years, I served at three levels of the Texas judiciary, more than half of that time as a justice on the Supreme Court of Texas.

    My journey from the factory to the courthouse was not an easy one but it prepared me well for a life in public service. I have experienced firsthand the challenges many Texans face every day.

    • I know the struggles of low-income families and what it means to navigate life’s problems without meaningful access to justice.
    • As a mother, I know the struggles of parents trying to bring up children in a world growing ever more hostile to God-honoring people and principles.
    • As the wife of a veteran police officer who served the Houston Police Department for 37 years, I know the vital role law enforcement plays in our communities and the sacrifices first responders and their families make to keep us safe.
    • I know the costs and sacrifices of putting food on the table, paying bills, and getting an education.
    • I know the demands and risks of running a business.
    • I know the fears of communities vulnerable to crime.
    • I know the burdens and anxieties facing working families and the toll it can take on mental health.
    • As a long-serving judge, I know the protections the law affords and how to defend and safeguard our liberties.

    These life experiences give me insights and perspectives that will enable me to help lead Texas proudly into the future.
