Scott Walker is an American judge in the US state of Texas.
Walker was elected to the Criminal Court of Appeals of Texas (CCA) in 2016. Walker graduated from Red Oak High School in 1971. He completed his bachelor's degree at Dallas Baptist University and received a law degree from Baylor Law School. He and his wife, Pam, have been married since 1974; they have one son, one daughter and two grandchildren. Walker is a conservative Republican and an evangelical Christian.
Before his election campaign, he was a defense lawyer in Fort Worth, Texas. He was 63 years old when he ran for Place 5 CCA. The Houston Chronicle describes him as a "politically famous name" (referring to the Governor of Wisconsin, also named Scott Walker). After his victory, he said that he won not because of his recognizable name, but because of the amount of time he spent on campaigning. He has twenty years experience in both the field of justice and the crime rate before his election, but has never taken the death penalty case. His opponent was Williamson County, District Assistant District Attorney Texas Brent Webster.
