What this job is
A county court at law is a trial court created by state law. The Office of Court Administration's October 2026 chart says these courts can hear the kinds of cases a constitutional county court hears, and also civil cases between $200 and $325,000. The chart says some of these courts have a higher dollar limit.
Tom Green County's courts page lists two county courts at law and does not repeat those dollar amounts. This race is for County Court at Law No. 2.
