Hoyt was the second African American federal judge in the state of Texas. He took senior status on March 2, 2013.
Hoyt, 70, was the first black man appointed to federal judge in the Southern District of Texas.
He is now semiretired in name only. He took senior status on his 65th birthday in March 2013, which gave him the option to reduce his caseload while still receiving his full salary.
But U.S. District Judge Lee Rosenthal, chief judge of the Southern District of Texas, said Hoyt still takes on a large caseload at Houston’s federal courthouse.
He’s also handling all the civil cases in the district’s Victoria division, where there is no resident judge in the courthouse 125 miles southwest of Houston.
“As a result, at age 12, I went to work in various odd jobs to help put bread on the family table,” said Hoyt, who was born in 1948, and grew up in a home with no plumbing.
He picked cotton, harvested resin from trees, cut lawns, sold newspapers, cleaned bathrooms at his school and WORKED AT THE LOCAL COUNTRY CLUB.
Why did I capitalize that?
Have a boule day.
