February 8, 2014
Greetings:
As Mayor of Houston, I congratulate the Houston Hispanic Forum on its 30th
anniversary and on the occasion of its 28th Annual Career and Education Day.
Since 1986, the Houston Hispanic Forum’s Career and Education Day has served
as a great opportunity for students and their parents to meet with college
representatives and learn about careers, financial aid and the college admission
process. The event attracts thousands of students, parents and educators and is
supported in partnership with many school districts in the greater Houston region.
I commend those who have worked with the Houston Hispanic Forum to emphasize
the importance of higher education for all students in the Houston area and for making
the 28th Annual Career and Education Day possible.
Best wishes for a successful event.
Sincerely,
Annise D. Parker
Mayor

Justice David Medina was born on Galveston Island and raised in Hitchcock,
Texas. He earned a Bachelor of Science Degree from Texas State University
in 1980, earning academic honors as a member of the Dean’s list. Justice
Medina later went on to earn his Doctor of Jurisprudence degree from South
Texas College of Law in Houston in 1989 while working full time for Cooper
Industries, Inc. and the Traveler’s Insurance Company before that.
Upon graduating from law school, Justice Medina became the first Cooper

In 1996, Governor George W. Bush appointed David to the 157th State District
Court located in Harris County, Texas. He was later elected that November and
became the first Republican Hispanic Justice elected in Harris County. He was
later re-elected in 1998.
In January of 2004, Justice Medina was appointed by Governor Rick Perry to
serve as General Counsel to the Governor until he was later appointed to the
Texas Supreme Court by Governor Perry. In November of 2006, Justice Medina
was elected by Texas voters to a full six year term. He has the honor of being
the first student from South Texas College of Law to serve as the Governor’s
General Counsel and the Texas Supreme Court.
Justice Medina also received National recognition in August 2010 when the
Hispanic National Bar Association presented him with its prestigious National
Latino Justice of the Year award. In his spare time, Justice Medina enjoys
playing the drums, is an avid outdoorsman and remains active in martial arts
competitions. In 2011, Justice Medina was inducted into the U.S. Martial Arts
Hall of Fame.
