Rick Green, a Dripping Springs solo whose practice chiefly involves corporate transactions, and Debra Lehrmann, a Fort Worth family court judge, bested four appellate court justices in the Republican primary race for Place 3 on the Texas Supreme Court for the chance to face off in the April 13 runoff.

Green led the six-candidate pack in the March 2 primary. He touts his experience as a former state legislator — he served in the Texas House from 1999 through 2003 — and as a businessman, citizen and lawyer. Green says 90 percent of his practice focuses on contracts and corporate transactions. He says he also is the general counsel for WallBuilders, an Aledo-based nonprofit organization that, according to its Web site, is “dedicated to presenting America’s forgotten history and heroes, with an emphasis on the moral, religious and constitutional foundation on which America was built.”
