“He was actually quite elated when I told him,” Casseb said of his father, a senior judge who's 93
and lives in Laredo.
The younger Casseb is a graduate of Lee High School and the University of Texas Law School. The father of three, he'll stand for election in 2010.
Casseb said with the bulging caseload in Bexar County, the governor's office preferred he start, “sooner rather than later,” in the civil court.
