Jacqueline Habersham has officially assumed leadership of the Texas agency that disciplines unethical judges and is promising to put the agency’s public image back on the right track, while working to reduce staff turnover.

The Texas State Commission on Judicial Conduct announced Wednesday that it appointed Habersham as its executive director after a national and local job search. Habersham, who’s worked as a lawyer at the commission for nearly 19 years, most recently served as its interim executive director.
