In less than two weeks, voters across Texas will go to the polls and find hundreds of judicial races on their ballot. From the Texas Supreme Court to local district courts, candidates for judicial office are rarely known. Take a few minutes to “click around” this web site and learn more about the people running for judicial positions in your community.

Historically, Texas judicial elections attract little attention, despite their importance. Since 1988, the Texas Civil Justice League has provided non-partisan voter information about candidates for the state’s highest courts. This year for the first time, background information is included on candidates for district courts and the intermediate Courts of Appeals.
