Keisha "K.T." Smith
Fort Bend Justice of the Peace, Precinct 4
The court, in plain English
Justice courts hear small-claims and civil cases up to $20,000, eviction suits, Class C misdemeanors such as traffic and fine-only offenses, and truancy. Justices of the peace also act as magistrates and, in counties without a medical examiner, conduct death inquests.
Why this seat matters
This is the busiest, closest-to-home court in Texas. If you are evicted, sued by a debt collector, or ticketed, this is your judge.
Not on the Nov 3, 2026 ballot
Keisha "K.T." Smith already serves on the Fort Bend Justice of the Peace, Precinct 4. Texas judicial terms are staggered, so this seat is not up for election this cycle and there is nothing to vote on here. Verify with the county’s own court directory.
