“While the incumbent has long service to our county, the district clerk’s office has become severely dysfunctional,” Torres said. “The incumbent has wasted millions of taxpayer dollars on a poorly selected computer system, has failed to provide adequate full-time trained staff for their courtrooms, has an inefficient filing system, and cannot work effectively with other elected officials.”
Torres said she’s a single parent who has raised four successful daughters, “worked hard and played by the rules to raise her family and build a career.”
She has worked as a legal process specialist in the Fort Bend County Clerk’s office, where she said she has served as a clerk for a county court at law, responsible for fee collection, processing and maintaining legal files. She was previously a legal secretary for a local attorney.
Torres attended Wharton County Junior College and said she’ll attain her paralegal certification this spring.
Born in Richmond, Torres attends Calvary Baptist Church in Rosenberg, is a former board member of the Mental Health Association of Fort Bend County, and spends her free time enjoying her daughters and her two grandsons.
