In their own words
Quoted from Stephanie Morales’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.
“Stephanie Morales is running for Judge of the 180th Criminal District Court to ensure that every person who steps into a courtroom is treated with fairness, respect, and dignity.”
“With experience as both a prosecutor and defense attorney, she understands the importance of balance and impartiality in the justice system and believes that a judge should protect the rights of both victims and defendants, uphold the law with integrity, and ensure justice is served without bias.”
“Our main priorities are simple: keep our community safe, cut down the long wait times in court, and create a special court for young people that focuses on helping them get back on the right track.”
Where the money comes from
$4,525$4,525 in total receipts, through Feb 10, 2026 — Search the Texas Ethics Commission for Stephanie Morales's filings raised, through Feb 10, 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 Stephanie Morales.
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.
