A COURTROOM BUILT ON INTEGRITY. A LIFE GROUNDED IN SERVICE.
Judge DaSean Jones, a decorated combat veteran with over 20 years of military service, now seeks his third term as Judge of Harris County’s 180th Criminal District Court. Raised in a proud family of veterans, his life has always been anchored in duty—to country, community, and justice. He brings the discipline of a soldier, the heart of a public servant, and the steady hand of a seasoned jurist to the courtroom.
Elected in 2018 as the first decorated Army combat veteran and minority to ever preside over the 180th Court, Judge Jones took office with one clear goal: to ensure that justice in Harris County would no longer depend on wealth, wardrobe, or social connections. Since then, he’s made good on that promise—presiding over nearly 6,200 felony cases and 70 jury trials, while building a courtroom defined by fairness, not favoritism.

DISTINGUISHED MILITARY SERVICE.
Judge Jones stands apart from nearly every elected judge in Texas. As a decorated Army combat veteran, he didn’t just “support” veterans—he deployed with them, trained beside them, and led them in combat zones.

GROUNDING PRINCIPLES: SERVICE. FAMILY. JUSTICE.
Judge Jones’s worldview was shaped early. As a child, he visited Auschwitz and the Anne Frank House, witnessing firsthand the lasting impact of injustice and unchecked power. That experience set him on a lifelong mission to stand against prejudice and abuse—in whatever form it takes.
At home, he lives what he believes. Judge Jones resides in Houston with his wife, Audia Jones, a former Congressional Fellow and former Harris County Assistant District Attorney, now an entrepreneur and advocate in her own right. They are raising two children with the same values they both fight for in the courtroom and the community.
And even with a busy courtroom docket, Judge Jones remains a fully engaged father, present for school drop-offs, late-night science projects, and little league games. This is all while managing his docket, serving as an adjunct professor sowing into future attorneys, and continuing to server his country in the U.S. Army Reserves. On rare weekends, he’s learning to play golf—where humility is a constant companion.
