Republican Julie Lugo seeks reelection as judge of Tarrant County’s 372nd District Court in the Nov. 3, 2026, general election. She is the only candidate listed for that office on the certified ballot.
Experience and education
The county court website identifies Lugo as the current judge. The Texas Office of Court Administration’s directory records her first day in office as Jan. 1, 2023, following her 2022 election.
According to her campaign website, Lugo grew up in Bedford and earned a psychology degree from the University of Texas at Dallas and a law degree from Texas Tech University. Before taking the bench, she served as a Tarrant County assistant criminal district attorney, including assignments in the Special Victims and Family Violence units.
