Cain worked prior to 2014 for current Texas State District Judge John Schmude. When the Smith camp raised concerns that Cain is a personal injury trial lawyer, Judge Schmude, who is forbidden by law from endorsing candidates, issued a clarification: "[Cain] took over most of my active caseload, which almost entirely centered on family law matters. Based on my personal experience and to the best of my knowledge in working with Briscoe, I can confidently say that Briscoe is not and never has been a personal injury trial lawyer. ... My firm focused primarily on family law and, to a lesser extent, various probate and constitutional law matters."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://briscoecain.com/cain-not-personal-injury-lawyer/|title=The following is a statement by State District Judge, John Schmude, regarding the allegations that Briscoe Cain is a personal injury trial lawyer ...|publisher=briscoecain.com|accessdate=June 5, 2016}}</ref>
