Mitch Templeton (i)R—elected
Texas judges are elected in partisan races; a governor’s appointee fills a vacancy only until the next general election. Results are the Secretary of State’s official canvass. An unopposed candidate can be declared elected without appearing on the ballot, so some races record no votes.
