How states judges are selected in Texas
Currently, Texas is one of the six states that requires judicial selection for all judicial offices by partisan elections. The Texas Constitution allows for appointment by the Governor or county officials and confirmation by the Senate for interim court vacancies. Across the state`s appellate and trial courts, there are nine supreme court justices, nine criminal appeals judges, 80 appeals court judges, and 448 district court judges. There are two primary methods of judicial selection: election and appointment. Some states provide only for election of judges; most opt for a hybrid of elective and appointive positions. Currently, 33 states (including New York) and the District of Columbia choose at least some of their judges via the appointive process known as merit selection. Elections, of course, is just what it sounds like. Candidates run in partisan campaigns, and the voters choose their judges in ordinary elections.
