David Oliver began his legal career while serving on active duty in the U.S. Marine Corps. After graduating from the University of Texas School of Law and earning his license as a Texas lawyer, David completed his military career as a military attorney. Most of his duties focused on criminal litigation, including assignments as a prosecutor, a military defense counsel, and a court-martial trial judge.
After retiring from the U.S. Marine Corps in 2009 at the rank of Lieutenant Colonel, David moved to Williamson County, where he has built a general law practice, gaining broad experience in criminal, civil, family, and probate law. In addition, he has held various leadership positions in his church, community, and profession.

Values You Can Trust
David’s faith shapes his perspective on the law and the legal system. It is the source of his conviction that every individual is created in the image of God and is, therefore, worthy of dignity and respect. It informs his view of personal responsibility and his sense of justice. It is why he is committed to engaging every case with an open mind and dedicated to doing what is right under the law.
“Running for Judge is not about seeking a title. It’s about responding to a calling: to serve my community with wisdom and compassion, to apply the law without bias or prejudice, and to uphold the values that make Williamson County strong.” — David Oliver
