Brownwood News – It was 1976. He had just graduated from law school, and gotten married. He needed a job, but he wanted more than a job. He wanted a home, a place to settle and raise a family. He didn’t know where that might be. Then he got a phone call from Brownwood.
Forty-four years later, Steve Ellis is still in Brownwood, and retiring at the end of this month from his job as District Judge of the Texas 35th Judicial District. He finished on top.
Ellis’ path to Brownwood was circuitous and unpredictable. His parents were both natives of Central Texas, but were living in Silver City, New Mexico when Steve was born. As Steve’s father moved up in his profession, the family moved often, just a few years in any one town, living in many different towns in New Mexico and Texas as he grew up, eventually graduating from high school in Texas City, Texas.
