Selection

The 80 judges of the courts of appeals are selected in partisan elections by district. The elected judges serve six-year terms, after which they must run for re-election if they wish to continue serving.[3] In the event of a midterm vacancy, the governor appoints a replacement who must be confirmed by the Texas Senate. The appointee serves until the next general election, in which he or she may compete to serve for the remainder of the unexpired term.[3]

Qualifications

To serve on the courts of appeals, a judge must be:

  • a U.S. citizen;
  • a resident of Texas;
  • licensed to practice law in the state;
  • between the ages of 35 and 75; and
  • a practicing lawyer and/or judge for at least 10 years.[3]

Selection of the chief judge

The chief judge of each court is selected by voters at large. He or she serves in that capacity for a full six-year term.[3]
