Pros

Claims to be a Christian Constitutional conservative - says he's a constitutional originalist (but would have no problem marrying same-sex couple, which is a lawless SCOTUS ruling {against TX state law (see below in cons) and not enumerated in the constitution}.
Exposure to all facets of a JP because of his current position in Constables office - Lengthy & broad experience in law enforcement. Hand-in-glove candidate. Ready to work on day one
Even tempered - highly enjoys interacting with people, though persona does not seem very approachable.
Likely to be endorsed by current JP Edie Connelly, if she does
Experienced as an EMT, Sheriff and Constable ;
Technology oriented. Plans to bring more technology to the court. Has specific ideas for improvements to JP3 website to improve efficiency.
Seems like a dedicated, hard worker w/a good servants heart - Law must take precedence over personal beliefs

Cons

Reported to be part of Davenport Ring (even if indirectly) by the Golden Hammer. "Another one of Beasley’s opponents met directly with two of the Davenport Ring members(Wayne Mack and Craid Doyal) before he ran for the JP position and has publicly indicated his “openness” to switching the Precinct 3 JP Office to Davenports NetData".
Indicated in an Eagle Forum Debate (1/25) that he'd defer to SCOTUS' Obergefell rulling and perform all marriages (including same marriage), despite it being against the law in the State of Texas. { Title 1, FAMILY CODE, Subtitle A, Chap 2, Subchapter A, Sec. 2.001, NARRIAGE LICENSE, (b) }.
Experienced heavily on the LEO side
Would have to pick up the civil and judicial side
