Meet Judge Sonia Rash

Judge Sonia Rash, a Fort Bend County resident for 17 years, took office as Justice of the Peace for Precinct 3 on January 1, 2023, bringing over two decades of legal experience and a lifelong commitment to serving the public. Raised in Houston by working-class parents, she has championed the underserved through court advocacy, free legal clinics, and grassroots efforts, earning a bachelor's degree in political science,  a master’s degree in international relations/economics, and a law degree from Texas Southern University. Beyond the bench, she has been recognized for her volunteerism and leadership roles in LULAC, the NAACP, and S.M.I.L.E. Since taking office, Judge Rash has prioritized justice, fairness, and accessibility by introducing night court for working families, offering free community programs, and creating a resource hub for legal and non-legal needs—breaking down barriers to justice and fostering dignity, respect, and hope in her courtroom.

CONVENIENT VIDEO CONFERENCE HEARINGS

To make the justice system more accessible, I plan to offer video conference hearings as a standard option. This will allow individuals to attend court without the burden of taking time off work, arranging childcare, or traveling long distances. With this approach, justice becomes more efficient, flexible, and inclusive—especially for those with limited resources or mobility.

NIGHT COURT FOR WORKING FAMILIES

Many working individuals face the difficult choice between attending court and keeping their jobs. To address this, I will implement Night Court sessions—offering extended evening hours for hearings and proceedings. This will help ensure that everyone has the opportunity to resolve legal matters without sacrificing their income, job security, or family responsibilities.

COMMUNITY OUTREACH SEMINARS. Landlord - Tenant Rights, Truancy, Small Claims, etc.

Knowledge is power, especially when it comes to understanding your legal rights. I will organize regular community seminars focused on practical legal topics such as landlord-tenant issues, truancy, and small claims. These free events will provide residents with valuable tools and information to better protect themselves, their families, and their futures—while building stronger trust between the court and the community.

Expanding Accessible and Flexible Court Operations

Sonia Rash is committed to making courts more accessible and responsive. She advocates for flexible scheduling, language access, and community-focused solutions to ensure justice works for everyone.

Additional Virtual Hearings and Evening Sessions

Sonia Rash supports offering virtual hearings and evening court sessions to better serve working families and increase access to justice for all.

Enhance Court Efficiency and Professionalism

Sonia Rash is dedicated to improving court operations through streamlined processes, timely case handling, and upholding the highest standards of professionalism and respect for all.

Free Education & Community Engagement Programs

Sonia Rash advocates for free legal education and community programs to empower residents, build trust in the justice system, and keep families informed and engaged.
