Democrat Will Robertson faces Republican Harris Hughey for Denton County justice of the peace, Precinct 4, in the Nov. 3, 2026, election, according to the state’s certified ballot. Only voters in the precinct decide this contest.
Background
Robertson’s campaign biography describes Marine Corps service and a photography and media business. It says he earned a bachelor’s degree at Southern Methodist University and is completing a master’s degree at the University of Arizona. This profile does not describe the graduate degree as completed.
Court access and fairness
In published candidate responses, Robertson calls for clear explanations of court procedures, deadlines and consequences. He supports using discretion allowed by law to help people resolve minor offenses and avoid accumulating fines and debt.
He also emphasizes equal treatment regardless of income, race, age or language skills. The reviewed materials do not provide a detailed staffing plan, budget or timetable for those goals.
Authority of the office
A justice of the peace hears matters assigned by Texas law, including small civil claims, evictions and fine-only criminal cases. The judge applies legal requirements and cannot independently change statewide offenses or eliminate debts outside the court’s lawful authority.
For precinct residents, court procedures can affect access, time and costs. The reviewed proposals do not quantify those effects.
This profile uses the certified ballot, Robertson’s campaign biography and his published candidate responses.
