SAN MARCOS -- A judge from Hays County, who was elected two years ago in part to handle DWI cases, pleaded no contest Wednesday to drunken driving and was sentenced to three days in jail.
Hays County Court-at-Law Judge David Glickler, a former state prosecutor who handled the Margaret Mills felony theft case in 2008 and a records tampering case involving Waco attorney Tammy Polk two years later, will surrender himself at the Hays County Jail sometime in the next few days to finish the last day of his sentence.
Glickler, who took office in January 2015 after serving seven years as an assistant attorney general, did not return phone messages left at his office Thursday. A court clerk said he was “on the bench” Thursday morning.
Glickler agreed to a plea bargain that called for him to serve three days in jail. Because he was given credit for the time he spent in jail after his May 26 arrest, he merely needs to go to the jail for what is known as a “walk through” and will receive credit for the remainder of his sentence, officials said.
