So there was an election the other day …

November 5, 2026

The Fifth District will have three new Justices at the start of 2027:

  • Hon. Amanda Reichek, a member of 2018’s “Slate of Eight,” returns to the court for another term after a 2-year absence;
  • Hon. Monica Purdy, a longtime Dallas civil trial judge; and
  • Hon. Andrea Plumlee, who comes to the Court from the Dallas family-court bench.

Every best wish to these new members of the Fifth Court
