How to Interpret These Judge Statistics

D'Andrea, Holly A. is listed with the Conroe, TX Immigration Court. The headline asylum grant rate shown here is 7.2% based on granted and denied asylum decisions represented in the current dataset.

Among the largest nationality groups shown for this judge, the table highlights Mexico (1,078 decided, 4.0% grant rate), Honduras (392 decided, 2.0% grant rate), and Guatemala (287 decided, 1.0% grant rate). Compare these rows with the judge's overall rate because nationality mix can materially change how the headline number should be read.

Grant rate is calculated as granted / (granted + denied). Other procedural outcomes, including terminated, withdrawn, administratively closed, or removed cases, are tracked separately where available and are not treated as asylum grants.
