Dave's Background
David John Muehlhaeusler (full name) is also known as David Muehlhaeusler, Dave Muehlhaeusler, and simply just as Dave or David
1990 graduated from Carl Albert High School in Midwest City, Oklahoma
1996 earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Mechanical Design and Engineering Technology from Oklahoma State University in Stillwater, Oklahoma. Then moved to Dallas County where I have permanently resided ever since.
1997 beginning of my full-time professional career as an engineer primarily in the commercial lighting industry
2009 first and only marriage in Dallas County
2020 filed for divorce in Dallas County
2024 upon my divorce's second enforcement action against me that was seeking a minimum 6-mo jail sentence for criminal contempt with no trial by jury ever offered to me despite my recorded demand for trial by jury, I also purposely took the witness stand against my attorney's advice. I have no doubt that I would have been sent to the county jail if I did not take the stand that day on June 6th 2024.
My Dallas County District Court divorce's records are a complete mess and when I questioned the legal professionals about them it was explained to me on numerous occasions as just another 'clerical error'
Upon my own disbelieve that so many errors occurred in this modern age of digital record keeping I began to investigate other cases in Dallas County and found numerous similarities. I also met with other litigants that had similar stories that they experience in court. I also met with litigants that were not even aware of other perceived errors in their case's records.
At the end of 2024 I began watching regularly scheduled Dallas County Commissioners Court meetings. I also publicly spoke in a few of the meetings informing the public that we have a problem with Dallas County record keeping and I will be battling this problem for the people in the future. I have further surmised that there are just too many extended jailed detainments after court orders release in many instances this is due to poor record management and deliverly of the order to the jail. This is ongoing and unacceptable. In many instances the county gets sued and then the tax payers (everyone in Dallas County) pays the price of county lawsuit settlements and the wasted cost of maintaining our facilities housing people that should not even be detained .
On August 25th 2025, I officially began my district clerk campaign by filing my campaign treasurer appointment form (appointing myself) with the local filing authority, the Dallas County Clerk for the 2026 election cycle.
During this 2026 primary my campaign operation thus far is operated by only myself with the full dedication to earn your vote to be elected into an office that appears to be now neglected after almost 2 decades of familiar county leadership. I intend to make sure our court records are accurately recorded and processed immediately..
