Judge Ken Cannata: “Saved by the Bell,” Mental Health & Fort Bend’s JP Courts | Spokesman USA
Justice of the Peace courts are often overlooked, but they handle some of the most important cases in a community.
Dr. Mubashir Chaudhry welcomes Judge Ken Cannata, Justice of the Peace for Precinct 3, Place 2, in Fort Bend County, a newly drawn precinct that covers much of Richmond and Rosenberg. A Fort Bend resident since 2004 and board certified in civil trial law, Judge Cannata shares his journey: elected judge in 2006, the first judge of the 458th District Court, chief of the Litigation Division for Fort Bend County, and now back on the bench.
In this conversation:
Why JP courts matter, from evictions to debt claims
The role JP judges play in mental health, including emergency mental health warrants in the middle of the night
Saved by the Bell, the truancy intervention program he launched in 2008 with the Probation Department, and the story of a 14-year-old girl whose life it changed
Making the court accessible to the people it serves
Early voting ends Friday, October 30, and Election Day is Tuesday, November 3. As Judge Cannata says, whatever your persuasion, it’s important that you come out and vote.

Judge Chris Morales on Mental Health Court, Second Chances & 28 Juvenile GED Graduates | Spokesman USA
What happens when a courtroom becomes a place to rebuild lives instead of just punishing them?
Dr. Mubashir Chaudhry sits down with Judge Chris Morales of Fort Bend County Court at Law No. 1, who has served on the bench for 12 years. Judge Morales shares how his court became a hub for people struggling with mental illness who kept cycling in and out of the county jail. The court connects them with doctors, medication, stable housing and job opportunities, and it has reduced repeat offenses.
He also talks about the juvenile GED program he built in Fort Bend. This year 28 young people graduated and two earned scholarships. Others went on to college, the military or trade school. As Judge Morales puts it, an education is something no one can take away from you.
Plus: why local races matter, and a reminder not to stop at the top of the ticket. Election Day is November 3.
