Judicial misconduct during the 2018 election has brought sanctions for two Dallas-area judges, but only one of them is still in office.

Justice Ken Molberg of the Fifth Court of Appeals in Dallas received a public warning for allowing his name to appear on campaign material along with four other nonjudicial candidates. At that time he was still a district judge. Former Judge Bill Metzger of the Justice of the Peace Pct. 2 Place 2 court was given a public admonition for stealing another candidate’s campaign sign from his neighbor’s lawn.
