Justice, 15th Court of Appeals District, Place 3
6-year term
Reviews decisions made by trial courts to decide whether the law was applied correctly. It does not hold new trials.
What this office does
Texas has 15 courts of appeals with intermediate appellate jurisdiction. The First through Fourteenth courts hear appeals in both civil and criminal cases from district or county courts within their geographic districts; the Fifteenth handles statewide civil matters, including appeals involving state agencies and the Texas Business Court. Each court is led by a chief justice and has at least two other justices, with the number set by statute from three to 13. Appeals are usually heard by three-justice panels unless the full court sits together.

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.
