Why this seat matters
DWI and theft charges, evictions on appeal, wills, guardianship of an aging parent — these are the cases most families actually encounter.
On the Nov 3, 2026 ballot for Fort Bend County Court at Law No. 4, Toni Wallace faces Cody Moore (Republican).
Experienced and Fair is not a slogan — it is what a judge owes every party who stands in her courtroom: a hearing on the merits, a record-based ruling, and the dignity of an impartial bench.
