Parker County Judge Pat Deen has been recognized as a Fellow of the Texas Judicial Academy by the Texas Association of Counties. This prestigious honor is awarded to county judges who demonstrate a commitment to judicial excellence by surpassing the state’s minimum education requirements.
The academy inducted several county judges as Fellows during its 2025 Spring Judicial Education Session, held March 26-28 in Lubbock. The program celebrates judges who pursue continued learning to better serve their counties.
The Texas Judicial Academy is a collaboration between TAC and the Texas Tech University School of Law. The Texas Court of Criminal Appeals oversees the educational program, which includes instruction by higher court judges, law school faculty, experts from the Texas College of Probate Judges and the National Judicial College, and Texas legal experts. This partnership ensures that county judges across the state have access to high-quality training and resources.
