Judge Eric Moyé is a friend and was my nextdoor neighbor for 7 years. He presides over the 14th Civil District Court in Dallas, TX and has done so since 2008. Judge Moyé (Eric) grew up in NY, attended undergrad at SMU, and Harvard Law School. He was the first African American hired by a national law firm in Dallas, TX in 1979. You most likely heard about Eric during the height of the pandemic when he ordered a Dallas salon owner to a week in jail for not adhering to an executive order issued by Governor Abbott. I've known Eric to be one of the most principled guys in my life, thoughtful, and incredibly kind. Ask him how he's doing, and he always responds with "Ain't nobody better than me." That's a mindset all of us could use more often.
