The Sales family’s ties to Nueces County stretch back generations, and James has always viewed the region not only as home, but as a calling.
Academic and Legal Education
James Sales obtained his higher education locally, graduating with honors from Texas A&M University Corpus Christi. He then attended the University of Houston Law School, where he was a top student and a member of the Law Review. He interned with both defense lawyers and prosecutors. In those formative years, James received exceptional, well-rounded exposure to law, which enabled him to quickly develop a passion for the field of criminal justice and public advocacy.
A Proven and Distinguished Career in Prosecutorial Roles
For over 30 years, James Sales has been a distinguished prosecutor in Nueces County.

His trial preparation and courtroom fearlessness have led to convictions that have contributed to increased safety in our local neighborhoods. His leadership in the District Attorney’s office has helped establish policies regarding crime prevention, victim rights, and appropriate sentencing. James is praised by fellow prosecutors and law enforcement for his ethical standards in practicing criminal law and his dedication to upholding the rule of law.

James led the Nueces County effort to address drug abuse, domestic violence, and gang violence. He advocates for transparency in the criminal justice system and believes everyone can work together: residents, law enforcement, and the District Attorney’s office. Convictions matter to James, but so do fairness, protecting the innocent, and hearing every voice.
Family, Values, and Community
Family is central to the life of James Sales. He lives out that commitment as a husband and father. He and his wife, Maria, a public school teacher at L.C. Anderson High School, have two children who both attend Corpus Christi public schools. The values instilled in him by his parents through their hard work and service, both here and abroad, continue to influence him in every facet of his life as a leader for the city, state, and nation. Fully believing that strong families go together with strong communities, he spends many evenings and weekends participating in activities at Corpus Christi’s New Life Lutheran Church, volunteering at a local food pantry, or fishing the shores of the Texas Gulf Coast.
A Vision for the Future of Nueces County
