Rural counties typically have 1-2 District Court judges sitting on a multi-county district. County Court at Law judges (limited jurisdiction) and Constitutional County Court judges (presided over by the elected County Judge) are separately allocated and not counted here. TX has ~474 District Court judges statewide.)
