About Tanisa
I am the child of two parents from farming families who never had the opportunity to graduate high school. I grew up in Dallas, and my sisters and I were bussed across town to attend magnet schools. My dad always said that if he was able to get an education, he would have become a lawyer so that he could help his community. I work hard to make him proud, and to live out his mission for him — providing access to justice and equity to all in our community.
My Experience
My broad resume makes me uniquely prepared to serve as a JP and contribute to a better criminal justice system in Travis County. With my years of experience in family and criminal law, as a defense attorney representing the mentally ill, a former Drug Court Defense Attorney, and as an Associate Judge at the Austin Municipal Court, I will be ready to serve Travis County as Justice of the Peace in Precinct 5.
