Dain Johnson is the Justice of the Peace for
Precinct One, Williamson County, Texas. He was born on September
11, 1972 in Austin, Texas to Travis and Gundy Johnson.
He is a life-long resident of precinct one, an Eagle
Scout, a member of Palm Valley Lutheran Church, and a graduate of
Concordia Lutheran College. Judge Johnson is the second generation
of Johnson's to hold elected office in Williamson County; both
grandparents were JPs. His grandfather held the position from 1967
until his death in 1972, and then his grandmother took over from
1972 until her retirement in 1982.

During the last year of college, Judge Johnson worked
for Williamson County Juvenile Services dealing with young men and
women who were incarcerated and pending action in the Juvenile
Court. In 1995, he was hired full-time and was transferred to the
Court Intake Section dealing with the adjudicated youth in the
Juvenile Court System. From 1994 until 2003, his primary
responsibility was to recommend to the Juvenile Court what action
would be both in the best interest of the public and the child.
Judge Johnson is currently enrolled in the National
Judicial College’s Dispute Resolution and Specialty Courts
program.
The Justice Court has jurisdiction over all “class C”
