Electing Judges



	Electing Judges Often voters are confused by judicial elections. It is very important that we continue to elect Republican judges in all of the courts that represent Blanco County voters. Who do we vote for? Just remember: local, 3rd, 33rd, 424th, Court of Criminal Appeals, and Supreme Court. The following link provides an interactive explanation of the Texas court system. http://www.courts.state.tx.us/ Another informative link is one from our District Attorney. It explains "How Justice Works." http://www.33districtattorney.com/HowJusticeWorks.html In Blanco County voters cast votes for the following judicial races: Justice of the Peace (Either Pct. 1 or Pct. 4 - see voter registration card for your JP number) Blanco County Judge Blanco County Attorney 33rd and 424th District Courts -serve Blanco, Burnet, Llano and San Saba counties District Attorney - District Judge 33rd District Court District Judge 424th District Court 3rd Court of Appeals (14 total courts; justices serve rotating 6 year terms) Chief Justice 5 Justices Court of Criminal Appeals (staggered 6 year terms) 9 Judges elected by all the voters in Texas.
