Republican Victor G. Carrillo is running for Rockwall County justice of the peace, Precinct 2, in the Nov. 3, 2026, election. The state’s certified ballot lists no opponent.
Background and priorities
Carrillo’s campaign biography describes experience as a Texas railroad commissioner, county judge, city council member and attorney. It lists a law degree from the University of Houston and geology degrees from Hardin-Simmons and Baylor universities.
He says his goal is an accessible court that treats people respectfully and applies the law impartially. His published statement does not provide a detailed new spending proposal or implementation timetable.
What the office does
The justice of the peace is a local judicial office. The county’s Precinct 2 court information describes its role in eviction and tenant repair-and-remedy cases. It emphasizes that the judge is an impartial decision-maker rather than an advocate for either landlord or tenant.
For residents involved in these disputes, court access and case handling can have direct consequences for housing and legal rights. A justice of the peace does not set countywide budgets or enact state law.
This profile draws on the certified ballot, county court information and Carrillo’s campaign biography.
The Rockwall Herald did not receive a direct questionnaire response from the candidate and does not endorse candidates.
