In a county celebrated as one of America’s most diverse and fastest-growing, Fort Bend is preparing for a monumental judicial expansion — and Tamecia Glover is ready to lead the charge with purpose, poise, and passion. With unmatched experience and an unwavering commitment to justice, Glover has officially launched her campaign to become the inaugural judge of Texas' 501st District Court. 

Born to Serve, Built to Lead

From Sunnyside to Alief, Glover’s story is rooted in communities that reflect the vibrant mosaic of Greater Houston. A proud graduate of Alief Hastings High School, she honed her discipline on the basketball court and her drive in the classroom, eventually earning a bachelor's degree in business accounting from the University of Houston.

But Glover didn’t stop there — and thank goodness she didn’t. Armed with ambition and a calling to serve, she returned to UH and simultaneously earned a Juris Doctor from the Law Center and an MBA from the prestigious Bauer College of Business.

Her academic excellence and leadership earned her a historic appointment: the first and only Black student ever appointed by the Governor to the University of Houston Board of Regents. “That opportunity empowered me to help shape academic and student policies that still inspire student success today,” Glover said.

From the Courtroom to the Community

After thriving at top-tier law firms and launching her own successful firm, Glover transitioned into public service — first under Fort Bend County Attorney Roy Cordes and then as Associate Judge under the respected District Judge Tameika Carter. This role proved pivotal.

“Judge Carter modeled what judicial excellence looks like: compassion balanced with competence, and consistency guided by fairness,” Glover reflected. “My court became a space where every individual—regardless of race, zip code, or background—could expect justice served with dignity.”

Glover has deep experience in both civil and criminal law, handling everything from mental health cases and employment law to complex felony dockets. Her expertise runs wide, but her fairness runs even deeper. 

A Heart for Service, A Vision for Justice

Outside the courtroom, Glover’s commitment to community is just as powerful. She’s a dedicated member of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc., and an active volunteer with Meals on Wheels, the Fort Bend County Women’s Shelter, the Fort Bend County Junior Service League, and The Fort Bend Church.

“My faith and service fuel me,” she said. “This race is about ensuring our courts reflect the best of Fort Bend — its diversity, its growth, and its need for balanced, qualified leadership.”
