Years of legal trouble for a former Harris County civil judge have come to an end with three years probation.
Alexandra Smoots, pictured in 2016, was handed three years probation on an aggravated assault with deadly weapon charge.
“I don’t think it’s a benefit to this court and society to idle along,” said Silverman, who addressed Smoots as judge throughout the appearance. “I would like everything to continue on the up for you.” Smoots, first elected in 2008, can no longer practice law because of her felony convictions. She now works as a legal consultant, Jackson said.
