Texas Scorecard by Erin Anderson November 8, 2024

Republicans flipped 23 Democrat-held seats in five appellate courts across Texas, winning 25 of 26 contested courts of appeals races on Tuesday’s ballot.

The shift was one of the most consequential and unexpected results of the November 5 election.

“There is no way to overstate it. This is monumental,” Republican State Rep.-elect Mitch Little posted on X.

Little said the GOP sweep of these judicial races will transform appellate jurisprudence in Texas.

The most dramatic change happened in the Fifth Court of Appeals in Dallas, where Republican candidates flipped seven seats including the chief justice bench won by J.J. Koch. The wins move the appellate court from a 12-1 Democrat majority to an 8-5 Republican majority.
