County · November 3, 2026 General Election

Civil District Judge, 113th Judicial District

4-year term

A trial court for lawsuits — contract disputes, injury claims and property cases. Harris County voters elect these judges countywide.

What this office does

District courts are the trial courts of general jurisdiction in Texas, and every county is served by at least one. They have original jurisdiction over felony criminal cases, divorce cases, cases involving title to land, election contests, civil matters where the money or damages involved total $200 or more, and any matter not placed in another trial court. Most district courts try both criminal and civil cases, but in densely populated counties like Harris the courts specialize in civil, criminal, juvenile or family matters.

Money figures are as filed with the Texas Ethics Commission, and cover only the period each report covers — they are a snapshot, not a live total. Each candidate’s profile carries that filing’s own caveats.

Same rows for every candidate, listed alphabetically by surname — not the order they appear on the ballot, and never by party. A dash means we hold nothing for that line, not that the answer is zero.

Both nominees were unopposed in the March 3, 2026 primaries, so they are their parties' nominees with certainty. We have not confirmed which candidate currently holds this seat, so no one is marked as the incumbent. Minor-party and independent candidates are not yet confirmed against the certified ballot.
