Judges

1 (Total District Court judges with venue over this county; vintage 2026 txcourts.gov directory + Tex. Gov't Code § 24. Texas's court structure is unusual: each urban county has dozens of numbered District Courts (Harris ~60, Dallas ~45, Travis ~25, Bexar ~25, Tarrant ~20) with trial assignments random across the full bench. 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.)
