He is one of the most dedicated and talented attorneys that I have ever known, but, more importantly, he is ethical. I can testify that Clay came to this DA’s Office and made it a better place. I will forever be thankful for that. I know he will approach his new role as County Court at Law Judge with the same energy and integrity that he has shown us on a daily basis as a prosecutor.”
In response, Harrison thanked local law enforcement for their work saying they enable the DA’s office to do their job by providing the investigation and evidence needed to prosecute the cases.
