Volney E. Howard

Volney Erskine Howard (October 22, 1809 - May 14, 1889) was an American lawyer, statesman, and jurist. He represented Texas's District 2 in the U.S. Congress from 1849 to 1853. He was the District Attorney of Los Angeles, California from 1861 to 1870, and a superior court judge beginning in 1879. He served only one term, due to the ill health that also forced him to refuse a potential nomination to the U.S. Supreme Court.
