Baker, Susan P.: - Susan P. Baker was a family law judge in Texas for 12 years.

Judge Baker, also, wrote grants for Galveston County for the Children's Justice Act and Court Improvement Act, which helped reform the way child abuse and neglect cases are handled. The new program served as a model for the State of Texas. Judge Baker was married for 25 years. She and her first husband have two daughters and three grandchildren. Judge Baker remarried in 1998. During her tenure on the bench, the judge was a member of the Galveston County Family Bar Association, Island Youth Advisory Board, Galveston County Mediation Board, Galveston County Community Supervision and Corrections Board, Galveston County Juvenile Board, State Bar of Texas Family and Juvenile Law Sections, Texas Academy of Family Law Specialists, National Council of Family and Juvenile Court Judges, and The Association of Family and Conciliation Courts, Texas and National Chapters.
