(1940 ~) Raul A. Gonzalez, Jr., the first Hispanic appointed or elected to statewide office in Texas, was born March 20, 1940, and graduated from Weslaco High School in 1959. Four years later, in 1963, he earned a Bachelor of Arts in Government from the University of Texas at Austin and a Doctor of Jurisprudence degree from the University of Houston in January 1966. He also graduated from the National Judicial College in Reno, Nevada. He also earned a Master of Laws in judicial process from the University of Virginia Law School in 1986.
Following his graduation, Gonzales was admitted to the State Bar of Texas on May 12, 1966.

On May 16, 1978, Gonzalez was appointed Judge of the 103rd Judicial District of Texas by Governor Dolph Briscoe and was elected to a full, four-year term in November of that same year. However, Gonzalez was unable to complete his term on the bench, as Governor Bill Clements appointed him as an associate justice on 13th Court of Appeals. He was elected to a full term on November 2, 1982, but, again, was unable to complete his term, as Governor Mark White appointed him to a vacant seat on the Supreme Court. Gonzalez served on the court from October 8, 1984 to December 31, 1998.
