The Honorable Richard E. Price, Class of 1976

Respecting the Rule of Law 

The Honorable Richard E. Price was appointed by the Governor of the State of Texas to serve as District Judge in the 285th District Court in Bexar County, Texas in January 2011. Cases before his Court include Family Law, Business Litigation, Personal Injury, Oil and Gas Litigation and the list goes on. Judge Price also mediated over 700 cases during his practice at Ball & Weed, P.C. of San Antonio.

In 1972 Judge Price was the first recipient of The Academy’s Colonel’s Cup (also known as the Joseph Rubin Trophy) for possessing outstanding qualities of leadership, ethics and personal concern for others. He recalls, “The Academy influenced my life by making me learn early in my life that you have to work hard to achieve your goals. It also taught me to respect everyone and to treat every person no matter what your position in life with dignity and respect."

Since then Judge Price has recently been awarded high ratings of all Civil District Court Judges by a poll taken of attorneys in Bexar County for his Good Temperament, Punctuality, Follows Laws, Rules Impartially, Performance, and Hard Work. He was recognized as one of the “Best Attorneys in San Antonio” in 2005, 2008 and 2009 by Scene in S.A. Magazine.

Judge Price advises current students, “The biggest piece of advice I can give is to treat every person you meet in life with dignity and respect.”
