Judge Katherine Thomas, a native Houstonian, became the youngest person elected to serve on a District Court in Texas when she won her election for the 184th District Court. She was also the first person of color to preside over that bench. She earned her undergraduate degree in Political Science from Spellman College and her law degree from Howard University. Judge Thomas was an intern for the Obama administration and the Harris County District Attorneys office, then served as a District Attorney in Harris County following her graduation from law school. Katherine still calls Houston, Texas home.
