As the CRO flies
I'm Tramer Woytek, TAC's Judicial Resource Liaison and County Relations Officer, covering South Texas. I served as the Lavaca County Judge for close to a decade (2011-2020) and Justice of the Peace for six years (2004-2011). I'm also a proud veteran of the Lavaca County Sheriff's office (1994-2004) and taught for the Texas Justice Court Training Center and TAC. I had the pleasure of being appointed by the Texas Supreme Court to be a commissioner on the Texas Commission on Judicial Conduct.
