I am running for re-election to the
County Court at Law #4 bench!
I would be honored to have your continued support.
Three reasons why Judge Dimple Malhotra is the right choice
EXPERIENCE: County Court 4 is the Domestic Violence Court. Judge Dimple Malhotra has over 25 years of experience working on domestic violence issues. EXPERIENCE IS CRITICAL WHEN YOU ARE MAKING RISK OF LETHALITY ASSESSMENTS ON A DAILY BASIS.
REPRESENTATION MATTERS: Judge Dimple Malhotra is the first South Asian and first female AAPI elected judge in Travis County history. Austin has a significant AAPI population and our judicial system should reflect our diversity. Judge Dimple brings a previously missing perspective to the bench.
COMPASSION: Judge Dimple was a witness to domestic violence at a young age. She learned early on that violence is a learned behavior that can be unlearned with the proper rehabilitation and treatment. She is dedicated to helping people break the cycle of violence.

Making AAPI History
An immigrant who grew up in the US with a family environment deeply rooted in Indian culture, Judge Dimple Malhotra’s life is a blend of Asian and American life experiences. Today, she brings these experiences to the bench to ensure the judicial system better represents all of us.
Judge Dimple Malhotra is the first and only person of South Asian descent elected to a judicial seat in Travis County history. She is also the first and only female Asian American elected judge in Travis County history.
This is important because AAPI members make up 6.1% of the population, but only 0.9% of elected leaders across all levels of government.
Compassion
Judge Dimple Malhotra’s dedication to domestic violence work was born out of her own personal experience dealing with this issue. That experience showed her first-hand how abuse is a learned behavior that in many cases can be unlearned. She understands how rehabilitation and treatment can break the cycle of abuse and lead to healthy relationships.
