Travis County District Judge Scott Ozmun, who just last year won his seat on the bench, died Friday of complications from testicular cancer. He was 50. State Senator Kirk Watson wrote this, of his passing:

Last week, Texas lost a great advocate when Judge Scott Ozmun lost his long, tough fight with cancer.

I met Scott way back when we were young lawyers practicing together. Like I said last week, I had the privilege of working with him as a law partner, in politics, in efforts to increase access to legal services for poor people who can't afford a lawyer, and on the softball diamond.

Scott was dedicated to winning - and winning in the right way. He was always there for those who needed his talent, intellect, and passion.

Those who seek justice for all people lost a great friend in Scott. We'll all miss him.
