Sean Teare
Harris County District Attorney
Sean Teare, a lifelong resident of Harris County, believes our criminal justice system should be both empathetic and efficient, balancing safety with fairness. In November 2024, he was elected Harris County District Attorney. Sean has returned to the office he loves, eager to help implement a new vision for justice. He believes in being a voice for survivors and protecting and upholding the rights of victims and the accused.
Growing up, Sean was shaped by activist parents who marched for Civil Rights in the 1960s. They instilled in him an unwavering commitment to equity and community. After his mother’s tragic death from addiction, Sean took on the responsibility of raising his younger siblings. He graduated from St. Thomas High School and earned his bachelor’s degree in American History from the University of Houston, followed by a JD from the UH Law Center. For 11 years, Sean served as a prosecutor in the office he now leads, including six years as Division Chief of the Vehicular Crimes Division. He and Lauren Teare, his wife of 19 years, are proud to raise their four children as part of the next generation of Houstonians.
