Local attorney Monty Murry has announced his candidacy for Judge of the 5th District Court for Bowie and Cass County, Texas. He has filed his application with the Republican Party of Texas and is listed as an official candidate for the primary election to be held on March 3, 2020.
“After 34 years of a successful law practice, I would like to spend the latter part of my career giving something back to the community. In the words of John Adams, ‘Our Republic is a Government of Laws, not of Men.’ I care passionately about our Government of Laws and system of justice and will endeavor to work hard to maintain the honor and integrity of the court. It is for that reason I am announcing my candidacy for Judge of the 5th District Court serving Bowie and Cass County, Texas, and have submitted my application for a place on the Republican Party General Primary Ballot. It is my firm belief that a judge should serve the bar. A Judge should display judicial temperament, patience, firmness, understanding, and humility, and should further be able to communicate with counsel, jurors, witnesses and parties calmly, courteously, and respectfully. I have dedicated my life and career to serving others and as Judge, will continue on this path. I humbly ask for your prayers and support.”
Monty is married to Ryan Murry, and they are the proud parents of MariAlison Bowling, Rebecca Murray, Weldon Murry, and Peter Schneider. Ryan retired from teaching at Texas High School after 30 years and is currently teaching English at Ashdown High School. Monty and Ryan are members of Hardy Memorial United Methodist Church in Texarkana. Monty is also a member of Kiwanis Club of Texarkana, and has served on the boards of Harvest Texarkana, Haven Home and United Way.
