Elect Laura Beth Fossett

When violent crime threatens our neighborhoods, justice delayed is justice denied. Laura Beth Fossett has spent more than a decade fighting for victims, putting dangerous criminals behind bars, and keeping Lubbock safe.

As Judge, she will bring that same no-nonsense approach to the bench. She will work tirelessly to clear case backlogs, deliver swift and fair verdicts, and protect every family in Lubbock County.

Why I’m Running

I want to honor the proud legacy of the 137th Court by upholding the highest ethical standards and strengthening the trust our community places in the judicial system.
I am committed to ensuring that the 137th Court remains a place where everyone’s rights are protected, and every voice is heard.
I will pursue innovative strategies and implement new processes to reduce the backlog of cases, ensuring timely access to justice for all.
My commitment to justice has guided my career. As a prosecutor, my duty was not simply to convict, but to see that justice was served. As Judge, I will ensure fairness, impartiality, and equal treatment under the law.
I want to continue giving back to my community in a meaningful and lasting way through dedicated service on the bench.
Having served on the Drug Court team under the late Judge Reyes and now Judge Eichman, I have seen firsthand the power of addressing the root causes of crime. By helping people overcome addiction, we can reduce crime and build a safer, stronger Lubbock County.
