Meet Alan

MEET JUSTICE OF THE PEACE ALAN WHEELER

Alan Wheeler was born in Arkansas and raised in Jacksonville, where he learned early the value of hard work, fairness, and service to others. He graduated from Ouachita Baptist University in 2003 with a degree in Finance, then went on to earn his law degree and pass the Texas Bar in 2009.

Alan began his legal career as an Assistant District Attorney in Denton County, where he gained hands-on experience with courtroom operations and the justice system. In 2010, he opened his own private law practice in Denton, serving the community for over a decade before being elected as Justice of the Peace, Precinct 1, in 2022.

Alan and his wife, Erica, have been married since 2008 and live in Lantana with their two children, Weston (10) and Tierney (8). The Wheeler family attends Lantana Community Church and are active members of the local community.

Alan also serves as the Secretary of the Denton County GOP and is a member of several civic organizations, including the Denton County Republican Women (DCRW), Denton County Conservative Coalition (D3C), and the Flower Mound Area Republican Club (FMARC).

“Being your Justice of the Peace isn’t just about running a courtroom — it’s about serving people, solving problems, and ensuring that everyone has access to justice.”

Cleared Over 5,000 Case Backlog

When I took office, our court faced a massive backlog of debt claim cases. By maximizing existing technology and reorganizing our docket, we cleared over 5,000 cases without spending an extra penny of taxpayer money.

Empowering Self-Represented Litigants

Many citizens represent themselves in court. By expanding access to technology and online resources, we’ve made it easier for everyone to participate in their cases and have their voices heard.

Building Stronger Partnerships

Our collaboration with the Constable’s Office has never been stronger. Together, we’ve improved communication and coordination to better serve the public.

Helping Students Stay in School
