Moore, 73, died late Wednesday of a heart attack.
He held county and district criminal court benches here from 1962 to 1982 and served as a visiting judge until ill health forced him from the bench last year.
A decorated combat pilot in World War II and Korea, he became a prosecutor in 1954 and was named first assistant by then-District Attorney Dan Walton in 1959.
Moore leaves his wife, Shirley, and daughter Jan Wyse, both of Houston. A son, Eric, died in 1981.
