Hayden Wilson Head Jr. (born November 12, 1944) is a Senior United States District Judge of the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas.

Education and career

Born in Sherman, Texas, Head received a Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Texas in 1966 and a Bachelor of Laws from the University of Texas School of Law in 1968. He was in private practice in Corpus Christi, Texas from 1968 to 1969. He was in the United States Navy from 1969 to 1972. He was in private practice in Corpus Christi from 1972 to 1981.[1]

Federal judicial service

Head was nominated by President Ronald Reagan on September 17, 1981, to a seat on the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas vacated by Judge Owen DeVol Cox. He was confirmed by the United States Senate on October 21, 1981, and received his commission on October 26, 1981. He served as Chief Judge from 2003 to 2009. He assumed senior status on November 13, 2009.[1]

Notable case

In 2014, Head entered the news for vacating an order by United States Magistrate Judge Brian Owsley to unseal the records of government requests for electronic surveillance in connection with criminal investigations. As a result of his order, the surveillance, most of which are for investigations that have long been concluded, along with the government's legal justification for the surveillance, remains secret. The one-paragraph order offered no explanation for the decision and was itself filed under seal.[2]
