Bielstein Middle School

Judge Bielstein was passionate about many things… the law, music, food, comradery, and family. In his spare time he could be found playing the guitar, collecting random treasures from obscure websites, plotting his next prank, or “holding court” solving the world’s problems. Sandy was always surrounded by loved ones… Whether it be his sons Sean, Christian, or Mark, his grandchildren Skylar, Grayson, Jackson, or Olivia, his best friend, partner in crime, and loving wife, Marsha, or any of the many people that he called friend.

Both he and his family are very proud of his past. Judge Bielstein was a lieutenant in HPD’s homicide division when he graduated from South Texas College of Law Houston with his Juris Doctor degree in May 1989. He became a licensed Texas attorney in November 1989, and retired from the Houston Police Department in 1990.  Judge Bielstein was a Vietnam veteran who served in the U.S.Marine Corps,earning three Presidential Unit Citations during his service to this nation.He practiced law for 10 years before he was first elected to the bench in 2001.  He was last re-elected to Fort Bend County Court at Law No.4 in 2014.  Judge Bielstein believed strongly in community service and remaining accessible to lawyers and the public. He gave many lawyers their start and provided valuable advice to prosecutors,defense attorneys,and fellow judges.

Judge Bielstein passed away on April 2,2017,at the age of 72. We are honored to carry on his legacy at Sandy Bielstein Middle School.
