In their own words
Quoted from Amy Guerra’s own official campaign material — what the campaign says the candidate will do. Some campaigns write about their candidate in the third person; the wording is theirs either way. These are the candidate’s claims: PlainDocket doesn’t check, rate or endorse them, and every candidate in a race is quoted the same way, from the same kind of source.
“Justice Amy Guerra is committed to public safety, protecting your rights, and upholding the rule of law.”
“Justice Amparo "Amy" Guerra was elected to the Texas First Court of Appeals in November 2020 after practicing law for nearly 20 years, handling complex civil cases in state and federal trial and appellate courts, being named a Texas Super Lawyer in Business Litigation, and becoming the first Hispanic partner at her law firm.”
“Since joining the First Court of Appeals, Justice Guerra has authored hundreds of opinions in civil and criminal cases. She was recognized as Judge of the Year in 2023, and she won the 2026 State Bar of Texas Judicial Preference poll, earning more than twice as many votes as her opponent, and receiving the most votes of any court of appeals candidate in Texas.”
“Justice Guerra is a wife, mother of three children, and the daughter of Retired Senior Justice Linda Yáñez (the first Latina appellate judge in the history of Texas, and the first woman to serve on the Texas Thirteenth Court of Appeals).”
Where the money comes from
$123,910$123,910 in total receipts, through Jun 30, 2026 — Search the Texas Ethics Commission for Amy Guerra's filings raised, through Jun 30, 2026
The filing reports a total but doesn’t break it down by source, so there is nothing to chart here.
Official filing:
- This figure is the candidate's own campaign account. Any committee the Texas Ethics Commission records as supporting them is listed separately and is NOT added in — money moved between the two is reported by both, so a combined total would count it twice.
- These lines don't add up to total receipts — receipts also include transfers, loans and refunds, which aren't donations.
- Filing is periodic (semiannual, 30-day, or 8-day pre-election reports). The figure above sums every report filed for the current 2025-2026 election cycle, through the most recent period shown — it can be several months stale depending on where a candidate is in the filing cycle, and excludes activity from any earlier cycle.
- The Texas Ethics Commission and the Federal Election Commission define "total receipts" differently — Texas Ethics Commission figures should never be compared directly against a federal candidate's FEC figures.
Official records
We searched the registries below and found no record for Amy Guerra.
Checked 28 July 2026: Texas Legislature (impeachment records) · Texas Ethics Commission (final orders) · State Bar of Texas (attorney discipline) · Texas State Securities Board (enforcement orders). The same registries are searched for every candidate in a race, and each entry describes only what the record itself states — including how it ended. We publish no allegations and no news coverage.
- The Texas Ethics Commission is required by law to keep dismissed complaints, and findings it treats as technical or minor, confidential — so no result there means no publicly-issued final order, not that no complaint was ever filed.
- A State Bar profile shows public disciplinary history the Bar publishes online; older judgments are held by its disciplinary counsel and aren't in that profile.
