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.

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.
