Diane Henson
By Karl-Thomas Musselman
Long-time Austin attorney, Diane Henson, has announced her candidacy today for Justice of the Third Court of Appeals, Place 3. This position is presently held by Democrat Bea Ann Smith, who has announced that she will not seek another term on the court. Henson ran for the 3rd Court of Appeals last fall and lost by only a couple percentage points in this expansive district where Travis County provides tens of thousands of votes for a margin to offset the rural parts of the district.
From her Press Release: "Henson brings 26 years of experience in various capacities, as a prosecutor and as a civil litigator." The Third Court of Appeals encompasses 24 counties in central and west Texas.
She is working with well known Austin consultant David Butts.
