The Harris County Criminal Justice World was shocked and saddened today by the unexpected and untimely passing of recently-elected Judge Cassandra Hollemon. Judge Hollemon held the bench of County Court at Law # 12 after winning election this past November.
I wish that I could offer some personal insight into Judge Hollemon's passing, but sadly, she passed away before I ever had the opportunity to appear before her.
In the 20 years since I've been practicing law, I've never known of a Harris County Judge who passed while in Office. I believe that the last Harris County Judge to die in office was 230th District Court Judge Joe Kegans in 1997. It is a significant and sad event.
Although I didn't know Judge Hollemon, I am sorry that we did not get a chance to know her and see what she would have accomplished on the bench. My sincerest condolences go out to her family and friends.
