Judge John Roach Jr. is a hard-working, committed public servant who has presided over the busiest court in Collin County for the last 10 years. The 296th District Court hears felony criminal, civil, family law and Child Protective Service cases. While on the bench he has presided over 20,000 cases. In addition to his constitutional duties, Judge Roach presides over the North Texas Veterans Court. On the bench, he is known as a knowledgeable, no nonsense jurist with a passion for the law.
