About the role

The City of Amarillo is seeking a licensed Texas attorney to preside over jury and non-jury court proceedings in a challenging municipal judiciary role. The successful candidate will hold a Doctor of Jurisprudence, maintain active Texas licensure, and bring at least two years of direct trial experience. Responsibilities include issuing warrants, setting bail, and supervising court staff in a dynamic environment.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
