Welcome
to the 299th District Court Website. My name is Charlie Baird and I am your
elected district court judge. I invite you to surf this site. Just click on any
of the links above to find out more about me, my qualifications, and this
important court. I also have a link to other sites that you may find of
interest. I hope you will visit one site in particular; the sponsors of the
Breast Cancer Site contribute $1 for each visitor. With a simple click of your
mouse, you can to help fund free mammograms for needy women.
Judges are elected to
protect and preserve the rights and liberties guaranteed to everyone by the United
States and
Texas Constitutions. As a judge for fifteen years, I have worked hard to ensure
those rights for everyone. And I have dealt effectively with individuals in the
criminal justice system who do not respect our laws and the safety of others.
My promises to you as your elected
official are simple. First, everyone who appears in court, whether they are
victims, defendants, witnesses, jurors or lawyers, will be treated with dignity
and respect. Second, the cases assigned to me will be handled in a fair,
responsible, impartial and judicious manner.
