I need your help! I need your prayers, I need you to spread the word about this campaign, and I need your financial help!  Like it or not, money runs campaigns! 

I am running for re-election to the supreme court of our state for all criminal law matters--the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals. I will be on the ballot in all 254 counties in Texas!  I am working full-time for you as a Judge on the Court, I have a wife and a family whom I sometimes like to see, and I am driving back and forth across this big state of ours trying to build name recognition among prospective voters.  

If you pray, then pray hard!  If you can spread the word about my candidacy, please do it!  And if you can contribute to my campaign, please do it!  

The maximum contribution I can accept from any one individual to my campaign is $5,000.00.  The maximum contribution I can accept from a General Purpose PAC is $25,000.00. Any amount helps, so don't hesitate if you can only make a smaller contribution. But I cannot accept corporate contributions!

Contributions can be made electronically on the DONATE page on this website: JudgeYeary.com or you can mail contributions to the campaign at P.O. Box 61, Wimberley, Texas 78676. Please include your name, your contact information, including your address and phone number, employer's name, your occupation, and whether you are employed by a law firm.  

If you feel called to do so, you could also offer to host a fundraiser for me with some of your friends!  Please support this campaign!!!

Judge Yeary says: "Opinions Are Not The Law!" Opinions are important because they explain to the parties why the court made its decision. They also can constitute "Rules of Decision" that bind the lower courts to follow an opinion as precedent. But it is important for all of us to understand these "Rules of Decision" as rules, because rules rank below statutes and constitutions in the hierarchy of laws.

In our constitutional system, the courts have no "legislative power." They do not make the law. So when a "Rule of Decision" is in conflict with a statute or constitution, the statute or constitution must prevail. If you agree with Judge Yeary, hit the DONATE button on his home page and contribute to his state-wide re-election campaign! 

It has been my greatest professional honor to serve Texas for the last 10 years on our Court of Criminal Appeals. From the very beginning, I pledged to uphold the constitution and laws of the United States and of this State. Because I also understand that those constitutions and laws are not written by me (judges should not make or change the law, but only apply it as written by others), I have used restraint when exercising the judicial power.  I am now seeking re-election, in 2026, to Place 4 on the Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas. I would love to have your support!
