Judge McClendon Retires After 30-Year Career | Lubbock News
Description
After 30 years of service, District Judge John McClendon is retiring from the 137th District Court in Lubbock County on August 7, 2026 — a career marked by deep commitment, from prosecutor to bench, including leading the Auto Theft Task Force and dedicating 12 years to the DWI Recovery Court. He calls his time in Lubbock “the honor of a lifetime,” praising colleagues and staff. Though stepping down from the bench, he’s not slowing down: visiting judge gigs, mediation, business support, travel, and outdoor adventures await. He’s also endorsing Laura Beth Fossett to succeed him — and everyone’s invited to the retirement reception on August 7 at 3 PM in the courtroom.
