Harriet O'Neill

Harriet Smith O'Neill (born April 20, 1957) is a retired justice of the Supreme Court of Texas. A Republican, O'Neill represented Place 3 of the nine positions on the court. O'Neill's term was to expire on December 31, 2010, and she declined to seek re-election to a third full six-year term. In the April 13 runoff election, Judge Debra Lehrmann, a family court judge from Fort Worth, won the Republican primary to succeed O'Neill. O'Neill subsequently decided to leave the court early and vacated the seat on June 20, 2010. Lehrmann was appointed by Governor Rick Perry to fill out O'Neill's term.
