Capital Austin Lawyer Aims for Texas Supreme Court Seat
The piece notes Justice Ralph W. Yarborough of Austin as a leading candidate to replace Justice James P. Hart on the Texas Supreme Court when Hart resigns to become Chancellor of the University of Texas. Yarborough, a former 53rd District Court judge and former assistant attorney general, brings wartime service with the 97th Infantry Division and deep state ties, with further logic linking Austin development plans like Railroad Boulevard and repurposing Missouri Pacific right of way to city growth.
