The Tarrant County Criminal District Attorney's Office will be an office with public service as the cornerstone, not politics. It will build safer communities by pursuing justice with fairness and integrity, encouraging crime prevention through community engagement and partnerships, empowering second chances by utilizing proven diversion programs and supporting victims of crime.

​
-
Prosecuting crimes, especially violent and predatory crimes, while upholding the laws that respect every citizen’s rights.
​​​
-
Protecting public safety and Tarrant County taxpayers by ensuring the county and its elected officials receive sound legal advice — preventing costly civil lawsuits and safeguarding public funds.
​
-
Building safe communities using proactive measures to prevent recidivism and criminal conduct before it happens through agency and community collaboration.​

​Utilizing diversion programs, especially for our youth, that build and restore lives to create stronger and safer communities.​​​​​​​​​​

Fostering trust and safer neighborhoods by building stronger relationships with law enforcement.
