Judge Kirsten B. Cohoon is the first elected District Judge for Kendall County’s 451st Judicial District Court. She previously served her community as its first City Attorney for the City of Boerne where she twice earned the accolade of the State’s best solo General Counsel; once in 2013 and again in 2016. She also served as a litigator for the international law firm of Bracewell, LLP. Since Judge Cohoon returned to Kendall County, the area her great-great grandparents (Friedrich and Charlotte Haag) helped to found, she and her husband, Patrick Cohoon, actively serve their community. She created and implemented both the 9/11 Wills for Heroes program and Boerne Lemonade Day. Her husband, also a lawyer, serves as a small business owner, Volunteer Firefighter for the Boerne Fire Department, City of Boerne Planning and Zoning Committee Member and past Chairman of the Boerne Chamber of Commerce. Judge Cohoon continued operating the 451st Judicial District Court during the global pandemic and has consistently been recognized for clearance rates of over 100% in her civil, family, criminal and juvenile dockets. She was the first in the judicial region to hold a jury trial upon re-opening and has tried in excess of 30 cases to a jury since the Court’s reopening in August of 2020. Judge Cohoon is the proud mother of two – one in 12th grade and another in 10th. She is an avid runner having completed the Boston, New York, Big Sur, Chicago and numerous Houston Marathons. She has three labs – Dos, Drei, and Delta – who also love running in the Hill Country.
