In 2008 he was appointed by the Supreme Court of Texas to its Ancillary Proceedings Task Force, which has been asked to review and recommend revisions to Texas' current rules of procedure dealing with attachments, executions, garnishments, injunctions, sequestrations, and other rules affecting the creditor-debtor relationship. Mr. Schwartz is active in local politics, having served as County Commissioner (appointed), as a member of the Mayor's Blue Ribbon Committee to address issues with the El Paso Housing Authority, and as past Chairman of the El Paso International Airport Board of Directors.
