Mary Kay Green is seeking election as judge to the 245th Family District Court. Unopposed in her primary, she is the Democratic Party candidate for this office. This is a county-wide race, so everyone who lives in Harris County who is registered to vote is eligible to vote in this race.

Mary Kay Green was the winner of the 2006 Houston Bar Association Judicial Preference Poll, where she received more votes than the incumbent as the choice to hold the bench in the 245th Family District Court. She has been endorsed by the Association of Women Attorneys, Harris County AFL-CIO Council, Harris County Tejano Democrats, Kingwood Area Democrats, Houston GLBT Political Caucus PAC,  Mexican American Bar Association of Houston, and the Communications Workers of America-Local 6222. 

The 245th Family District Court is one of the nine family law courts in Harris County that hears cases involving adoption, divorce, child custody issues and child support, as well as family violence protective orders.

Mary Kay Green lives and breathes the practice of family law and does whatever it takes to get the job done. In 19 years of practice, she has tried a complete spectrum of cases, from simple divorces where the parties have grown apart to trial by jury and to the bench, where issues regarding all aspects of the parties' relationship with their children and division of their property must be decided.

Mary Kay Green is a solo practitioner, who has also served of counsel to Lindeman, Alvarado and Frye, L.L.P. and volunteered her services to the La Rosa family services and Houston Bar Association. She has also had the opportunity to serve as a court master in the 311th Family District Court. In her practice she has represented both men and women, of all ages and all economic levels.

It is the experience of handling a wide variety of cases in the family courts and in the criminal and probate courts, where the decisions that directly effect the family relationship are decided, that Mary Kay Green brings to the bench. It takes someone who has this experience going in, patience to deal with those who are caught up in the whirlpool of events that have brought them to court, and the compassion to create an atmosphere where everyone will feel that the court understands their situation, to serve as a judge in a family law court.

Mary Kay Green earned both her undergraduate and law degree from the University of Houston, working during the day and going to school at night. She has been licensed since May of 1987. Her attendance at the Advanced Family Law Seminars and in courses that address specific issues, such as co-parenting and the use of parent coordinators, gives her the additional training that she will take to the bench.

It is Mary Kay Green's goal as a judge to decide all cases on a timely basis, including those referred from the Office of the Attorney General, and not create a hardship to the litigants by unnecessarily dismissing cases.

Mary Kay Green is a married resident of the Heights and a member of St. Luke's United Methodist Church. Adopted by Inez and John Green of Houston at 10 days old, she has resided in Houston her entire life. She attended public elementary and secondary schools, graduating from Mirabeau B. Lamar High School in May 1971.
