Texas voters elected (or re-elected) a slate of judges in the state on Tuesday.  Last week we posted a list of the appellate court races in the state. 

A list of the winners in those appellate court races is displayed below.  The final, official figures are not yet posted, but most of these outcomes are unlikely to change.
