He was appointed by President Donald Trump in 2019 after serving as deputy counsel for the First Liberty Institute, a deeply conservative religious liberty law firm based in Plano. Kacsmaryk has been involved in several legal fights over reproductive health care and has made anti-abortion and anti-LGBTQ rulings. He is known to hear cases brought by right-wing law firms, private litigants, and the state of Texas due to his reliably conservative stance.
