Judge Bonnie Lee Goldstein - Professional Background & Legal Expertise

Biography

The Hon. Bonnie Lee Goldstein is a justice for Place 3 of the 5th District Court of Appeals of Texas. She was elected to the bench on November 3, 2020.

Prior to her election, Goldstein was a judge for the 44th District Court in Dallas County, Texas, a position to which she was elected in 2014. Before that, she spent eleven years as a sole practitioner in her own private practice, representing municipalities as a city attorney and a municipal court prosecutor. She supplemented her practice with service as a municipal court judge for the City of Dallas, the City of Cockrell Hill, the City of Royse City, and the Town of New Hope.

Goldstein earned a B.A. in law and society (pre-law) and Spanish from Hood College in 1984. She spent the next few years working as a paralegal at Ezra, O’Connor, Moon & Tam (1985), Greeley, Walker & Kowen (1985), and at Onek, Klein & Farr (1986 to 1988) before completing a J.D. at The George Washington University Law School in 1990. As a law student, Goldstein served as a legal intern for the United States Court of Claims (1989).

After graduating from law school, Goldstein entered into private practice, handling a variety of matters, from construction litigation and education law to government contracts and procurement. She worked as a partner at Vial, Hamilton, Koch & Knox (1990 to 1998), Bickerstaff, Heath et al. (1999 to 2001), and Brown & Hofmeister (2001 to 2003).

Her memberships have included the American Bar Association, the Anti-Defamation League, the Dallas Association of Young Lawyers Life Foundation, the Dallas Bar Association, Legal Services of North Texas, Altrusa International of Downtown Dallas, the Texas City Attorneys Association, and the Texas-Mexico Bar Association. She has also served as Director of Dallas Family Resources and Right Alternatives for People.

Goldstein is fluent in Spanish. She was appointed Legal Counselor to the Mexican Consulate in Houston in 1998 for her work representing a Mexican National on Death Row.

She is a registered Democrat.
