2010 Texas Supreme Court Elections

Justices of the Texas Supreme Court are elected in normal, partisan elections to six-year terms.

This year’s Texas primary fell on March 2, 2010, with two contested races (both within the Republican Party). In Place 9, Justice Guzman, the incumbent appointed late last year, won her party’s nomination.

Place 3 was a six-way contest in which no candidate obtained a majority of the primary vote. The top two vote-getters — former state representative Rick Green of Dripping Springs and Judge Debra Lehrmann of Fort Worth — will go to a runoff on April 13, 2010.
