#### Selection method[edit]

See also: Partisan election of judges

The judges of the Texas District Courts are chosen in partisan elections. They serve four-year terms, after which they must run for re-election if they wish to continue serving.[4]

Though Texas is home to more than 400 district courts, the courts are grouped into nine administrative judicial regions. Each region is overseen by a presiding judge who is appointed by the governor to a four-year term. According to the state courts website, the presiding judge may be a "regular elected or retired district judge, a former judge with at least 12 years of service as a district judge, or a retired appellate judge with judicial experience on a district court."[5]

Qualifications
To serve on the district courts, a judge must be:

* a U.S. citizen;
* a resident of Texas;
* licensed to practice law in the state;
* between the ages of 25 and 75;*[6]
* a practicing lawyer and/or state judge for at least four years; and
* a resident of his or her respective judicial district for at least two years.[4]

*While no judge older than 74 may run for office, sitting judges who turn 75 are permitted to continue serving until their term expires.[4]
