Justice Erin Nowell

Justice Erin Nowell serves on the Fifth District Court of Appeals, Place 5, an appellate court with general jurisdiction to hear all appeals from six North Texas counties. She was first elected in 2018 to a six-year term, and she is seeking re-election in 2024.

Justice Nowell considers fairness to be a core value in her work on the appellate court and throughout her career. Nothing is more important than the public's trust in the justice system, and the idea that every litigant has a chance to be heard, the facts are fully presented, and the process yields a fair outcome.
