On January 23,2002,Clark was nominated by President George W. Bush to a seat on the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas vacated by Howell Cobb. Clark was confirmed by the United States Senate on October 2,2002,and received his commission on October 10,2002. [1] A brief controversy arose over Clark's stated intent to remain on the ballot for reelection to his Texas House seat,and to serve through the next legislative session before assuming his judgeship,but this delay proved uncomfortable for the Bush Administration,and ultimately did not materialize.
