In the second episode of the TYLA’s Young Gunners SCOTX Series, we sit down with Senior Justice Debra Lehrmann — the longest-serving member of the Supreme Court of Texas. A first-generation lawyer with an unexpected path to the bench, Justice Lehrmann originally aspired to be a psychologist. But a pivotal internship at the Austin State Hospital, where she witnessed the lasting effects of childhood trauma, led her to pursue law instead.

That experience became the foundation of her career-long dedication to child welfare and advocacy for the vulnerable. Join us as she shares stories from her journey, her passion for closing the justice gap, and what drives her work on the Texas high court.
