Judge De Leon’s vision of serving both the court and the community has become a working reality. Soon after taking office he formed a partnership with what was then called the TWU Law School and hired a legal intern; a first for Justice of the Peace Courts in Tarrant County. Additionally, he held the first-ever Precinct 5 Justice of the Peace and Constable Town Hall Meeting to address a new Judicial Complex to better serve the growing needs of the Precinct 5 community. Moreover, Judge De Leon forged a partnership with FWISD Schools and initiated the “Honorary Jurors Program” which invites students from area schools to serve as honorary jurors and observe court proceedings. The program has been a tremendous success and has been featured in the Fort Worth Star Telegram and the Texas Association of Counties, County Magazine.
