for more than 20 years. Many of the positions held by her have been historical firsts for both women and
minorities.

of Appeals marked the first time in Texas history that an African American woman had ever won a multi-county election for any
elected office.
Justice Wright

decide criminal, civil, family, juvenile, and probate matters that are appealed from trial
courts in seven North Texas counties from which she is elected.
Her prior judicial service includes three elections as a State District
Judge and an appointment as an Associate Judge in the Family District Courts.
Prior to
her judicial service, she was engaged in the private practice of law in areas of family, juvenile, and business transactions.
