The 187th District Court seat in Bexar County, currently held by Judge Stephanie Boyd, will be on the Democratic Party ballot in this primary election. Boyd faces a challenge from criminal defense attorney Veronica Legarreta.

Judge Boyd’s skills as a former prosecutor, defense attorney and community organizer help her resolve complex legal cases. Her private practice started in 1997 with a focus in criminal law. In 2015, she joined the Bexar County District Attorney’s Office as the first-chair prosecutor in the Special Crimes Unit, which prosecutes child abuse and domestic violence cases.
