Retired Judge David Peeples.
Of the more than 600 Texas jurists who serve the state, most of them end up making at least one or two controversial decisions during their time on the bench. But in his 36 years as a judge, David Peeples of San Antonio has seemingly made a lifetime of tough calls.
Until his retirement late last year, Peeples spent 21 years as the presiding judge of the Fourth Administrative Judicial Region where he was regularly asked by his superiors to make politically fraught decisions that most jurists would just as soon avoid. He’s handled several cases seeking to remove elected public officials from office and countless rulings over whether his fellow judges should be recused from hearing high-profile civil and criminal cases because of alleged bias.
