Tom Oxford — Libertarian nominee for Texas Attorney General

Tom Oxford is the Libertarian nominee for Attorney General in the November 3, 2026 general election. This page is informational only and does not endorse any candidate.

Background

Oxford owns Oxford Law PLLC in Jefferson County and has practiced law since 1982 in personal injury, immigration and civil rights. He has argued before the Texas Supreme Court and the Fifth Circuit, and holds degrees from the University of Texas and the University of Houston Law Center (Texas Tribune).

Record and positions

He has not held elected office. The Texas Tribune found no published statement of his specific policy positions; the Libertarian Party of Texas platform calls for limited government and protection of individual rights. Through June 30, 2026 he had reported $394 raised and $0 cash on hand.

Why this race matters in Killeen and Bell County

The Attorney General represents the State of Texas in civil litigation, enforces consumer-protection law, issues legal opinions, and runs child-support collection. Most criminal prosecution is handled by local district attorneys, and Texas courts have limited the AG’s power to prosecute on its own. Killeen has seen the office’s reach firsthand: the AG sued Killeen and four other cities over local marijuana-decriminalization ordinances (Killeen Daily Herald timeline). Fort Cavazos adds a third layer: conduct on the installation can fall under federal or military jurisdiction rather than state law.
