Texas Senator John Cornyn leads a national effort to improve security for state and district court judges. In 2015, Travis County Judge Julie Kocurek survived an assassination attempt, which led to a 2017 Texas law enhancing security and threat-reporting requirements for judges. Cornyn's bill aims to provide threat monitoring for judges and court personnel nationwide, supported by Texas judges and prosecutors.
