An Experienced, Conservative District Judge
As your District Judge, I provide a courtroom that is fair and impartial, but also one that hands down appropriate and just sentences to those who commit crimes and endanger the citizens of Williamson County.
About Judge Sarah:
Judge Sarah Bruchmiller serves as the District Judge of the 368th District Court of Williamson County.
She graduated with honors from the University of Texas at Austin and has a law degree from South Texas School of Law in Houston. While earning her law license, she worked for the Office of the General Counsel under Governor Rick Perry and interned for the First Court of Appeals under Justice Elsa Alcala. After graduating from law school, she began her career in public service at the Harris County District Attorney’s Office in Houston, Texas, gaining experience as a Chief Prosecutor in misdemeanor and felony district courts. She was then a Chief Prosecutor for Williamson County before serving as a Williamson County Associate Judge for several years.
In the District Court, Judge Sarah presides over civil matters that, at times, involve tens of millions of dollars and/or injunctions. She also handles felony criminal cases. Typical criminal cases that she oversees at the felony level include robbery, sexual assault, crimes against children, and capital murder. Judge Sarah is a specialist at overseeing these high-level criminal cases because she has handled them for most of the past 20 years as either a prosecutor or judge.
Judge Sarah works tirelessly for the citizens of Williamson County to make sure that justice is administered fairly and efficiently. In her first term as District Judge, she has greatly reduced the backlog of cases that had resulted during the COVID years.
In addition to presiding over some of the most violent cases in the county, Judge Sarah is also in charge of the Williamson County DWI/Drug Court Treatment Court. The cornerstones of this specialty court program are accountability, treatment and recovery, which reduces the chance of defendants reoffending and keeps the citizens of Williamson County safe.
Judge Sarah has been published five times in the Texas Prosecutor Law Journal and is a contributing author to the Texas Judicial Commission on Mental Health Juvenile Bench Book. She has spoken at numerous conferences and events about a variety of subjects, such as speaking at a statewide judicial conference about the Williamson County Jail Based Competency Restoration Program. Judge Sarah serves on the Williamson County Juvenile Board and is Vice-Chair of the Williamson County Bail Bonds Board. She is a founding team member of the Transformative Justice Program in Williamson County, and she has worked in specialty courts focused on defendants with mental illness, alcohol/drug addiction, as well as, human trafficking survivors.
The Bruchmillers attend Santa Rosa De Lima Catholic Church.
