The court has nine judges, including a presiding judge and eight other judges, who are elected statewide in partisan elections every six years. Because they are elected statewide, the places (Place 2, Place 3, etc.) are not based on a geographic location.

The court will ultimately consist of a chief justice and four justices, but SB1045 states it will have a chief justice and two justices for the first three years after its creation. That&#8217;s why only a chief justice and two justices appear on the ballot. Place 4 takes effect Sept. 1, 2028, and Place 5 takes effect Sept. 1, 2029; both will appear on the 2030 general election ballot.<\/p>\n<p>Chief Justice, 15th Court of Appeals District<\/p>\n<p>Scott Brister (REP)<\/p>\n<p>Jerry Zimmerer (DEM)<\/p>\n<p>Justice, 15th Court of Appeals District, Place 2<\/p>\n<p>Scott K.

The 1st through 14th courts have geographic jurisdiction over civil and criminal appeals from district or county courts. The 15th Court of Appeals has statewide civil intermediate appellate jurisdiction and exclusive intermediate appellate jurisdiction over civil appeals against the state, state agencies, or a state university system.

Plumlee (DEM)<\/p>\n<p>District Courts and County Criminal District Courts<br \/>District judges in Texas preside over felony criminal cases and major civil and family law cases. District judges are elected locally in partisan elections. Party nominees who win the primary meet in the November general election, and the winner serves a four-year term representing that judicial district. There are hundreds of district courts across the state, including 32 in Dallas County, 24 in Tarrant County, 15 in Collin County and 12 in Denton County.

Texas does not use the same court structure in every county. In larger counties, like Dallas or Tarrant, specialized courts handle only probate and guardianship matters. In medium-sized counties, a general county court may handle probate matters. In rural counties, the county judge or district courts may have jurisdiction over probate cases.<\/p>\n<p>Judge, County Probate Court<\/p>\n<p>Justice of the Peace<br \/>Justices of the Peace hear small civil claims and debt cases under $20,000, evictions, and Class C misdemeanor cases, such as traffic tickets or minor alcohol violations.<\/p>\n<p>Justice of the Peace, Precinct No. 1<\/p>\n<p>Justice of the Peace, Precinct No. 2<\/p>\n<p>Ellen Kinnebrew (REP)<\/p>\n<p>Darsell E.
