The Richardson Municipal Court will have the same presiding judge, Thomas A. D’Amore, after Richardson City Council voted to extend his term as presiding municipal judge another two years.
Council members approved the extension of D'Amore's term and appointed three assistant municipal judges during the April 8 council meeting.
