JOHN R. CARTER\n\n                                of texas\n\n                    in the house of representatives\n\n                      Thursday, September 24, 2026\n\n  Mr. CARTER of Texas. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the\ndistinguished service of the Honorable Betsy Figer Lambeth, whose\ndedication to justice and the people of Williamson County has left a\nlasting impact on Central Texas.\n  A fifth-generation Texan, Judge Lambeth earned her undergraduate\ndegree from the University of Texas at Austin and her law degree from\nTexas Tech University School of Law. After beginning her legal career\nin Midland, she moved to Williamson County in 1987, where she built a\nrespected practice in civil, family, juvenile, and child welfare law\nbefore opening her own firm in 1997.\n  In 2012, Judge Lambeth made history as the first woman elected\ndistrict judge in Williamson County. Since taking the bench in 2013,\nshe has served with fairness, integrity, and compassion. Her fellow\njudges elected her Local Administrative Judge of the Williamson County\nDistrict Courts in 2015, recognizing her exceptional leadership.\n  Her dedication to public service extends beyond the bench through her\nlongstanding involvement with organizations that strengthen the\nWilliamson County community. She has served for many years on the Board\nof Directors of R.O.C.K. Ride On Center for Kids, an organization that\nenriches the lives of children and adults with disabilities through\nequine-assisted services. She has also supported local schools, civic\norganizations, and numerous community initiatives, demonstrating her\nenduring commitment to serving others both inside and outside the\ncourtroom.\n  Mr. Speaker, Judge Betsy Lambeth's career reflects a steadfast\ncommitment to justice, leadership, and public service. It is my honor\nto recognize her outstanding accomplishments and thank her for her\nyears of faithful service to the people of Central Texas.\n\n                          ____________________"]], "columns": ["granule_id", "date", "congress", "session", "volume", "issue", "title", "chamber", "granule_class", "sub_granule_class", "page_start", "page_end", "speakers", "bills", "citation", "full_text"], "primary_keys": ["granule_id"], "primary_key_values": ["CREC-2026-09-24-pt1-PgE972"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.35804200160782784, "source": "Federal Register API & Regulations.gov API", "source_url": "https://www.federalregister.gov/developers/api/v1", "license": "Public Domain (U.S. Government data)", "license_url": "https://www.regulations.gov/faq"}
