                    in the house of representatives

                      Thursday, September 24, 2026

  Mr. CARTER of Texas. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the 
distinguished service of the Honorable Betsy Figer Lambeth, whose 
dedication to justice and the people of Williamson County has left a 
lasting impact on Central Texas.
  A fifth-generation Texan, Judge Lambeth earned her undergraduate 
degree from the University of Texas at Austin and her law degree from 
Texas Tech University School of Law. After beginning her legal career 
in Midland, she moved to Williamson County in 1987, where she built a 
respected practice in civil, family, juvenile, and child welfare law 
before opening her own firm in 1997.
  In 2012, Judge Lambeth made history as the first woman elected 
district judge in Williamson County. Since taking the bench in 2013, 
she has served with fairness, integrity, and compassion. Her fellow 
judges elected her Local Administrative Judge of the Williamson County 
District Courts in 2015, recognizing her exceptional leadership.
  Her dedication to public service extends beyond the bench through her 
longstanding involvement with organizations that strengthen the 
Williamson County community. She has served for many years on the Board 
of Directors of R.O.C.K. Ride On Center for Kids, an organization that 
enriches the lives of children and adults with disabilities through 
equine-assisted services. She has also supported local schools, civic 
organizations, and numerous community initiatives, demonstrating her 
enduring commitment to serving others both inside and outside the 
courtroom.
  Mr. Speaker, Judge Betsy Lambeth's career reflects a steadfast 
commitment to justice, leadership, and public service. It is my honor 
to recognize her outstanding accomplishments and thank her for her 
years of faithful service to the people of Central Texas.
