Assistant District Attorney Sarah Moore’s path to running for judge of the recently established 512th District Court isn’t a pivot—it’s the next chapter in a life built around service, community, and deep experience in the law. A mom of four and a Williamson County resident, she’s spent nearly two decades putting in the work that matters most when a courtroom decision affects real families.
Sarah’s professional journey has largely been in prosecution, and she’s led cases most people never see—from serious felony jury trials to everyday matters that touch local families. In that time, she’s been lead counsel in more than 100 felony jury cases, a body of experience that simply can’t be replicated from behind a desk.
But Sarah doesn’t just believe in experience—she lives it. She is Board Certified in Criminal Law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization, an honor that reflects mastery in her field. She is a published legal author and has also been recognized with statewide awards for ethical prosecution and victim advocacy, including the 2020 Lone Star Prosecutor Award and the 2024 Crime Victims Advocate Hall of Fame Award from local advocates.
LOVE OF THE LAW
“I believe what sets me apart,” Sarah says, “isn’t simply the number of cases I’ve tried—it’s how I strive to use those experiences to lift up others in the profession. I make a point of regularly teaching lawyers across Texas on advocacy, leadership, ethical plea negotiations, and professional ethics.”
Sarah affirms judges must be prepared and able to bring more than just legal knowledge to the bench. Such an honorable job also demands sound discretion shaped by years in the courtroom—an individual who appreciates not only the letter of the law but its real-world impact on families, victims, and defendants alike. That’s the balance she wants to bring to the 512th District Court: fairness grounded in compassion and common sense.
Sarah’s commitment doesn’t stop at the courthouse door. She serves on the board of the WilCo Women’s Center and is active in local civic organizations including Georgetown Area Republican Women, Leander Area Republican Women, Northwest Austin Republican Women, Republican Club of Sun City Texas, and has recently been approved for membership in the Rotary Club of Georgetown, specifically for involvement in their human trafficking awareness initiatives.
Her life outside the law—as a parent, volunteer, community leader, and neighbor—informs how she sees justice: it’s not an abstract ideal, it’s something that should make life better and safer for every family in Williamson County.
THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL
Sarah is running in the 2026 Republican primary because she believes in service, not status. She sees this campaign as a long job interview with the community—one she approaches with energy and humility and she is confident she will not tire of reaching every part of the county to earn the trust and confidence of voters.
I am asking the community for their vote because I want to elevate the discourse and quality of the legal profession in our county and help our community members feel certain that they can depend on fairness and firmness from this new court.
She says she finds the robe to be much more than a symbol. It is a promise that the people of Williamson County deserve a judge with experience they can trust, judgment they can count on, and a heart for service that carries beyond the bench into the community.
