Zimmerer, with office held as a justice of the 14th Court of Appeals, Place 3, and office sought as chief justice of the 15th Court of Appeals. That office-held line is what the filer wrote. The Fourteenth Court of Appeals lists Jerry Zimmerer as a former justice in Place 3 for 2019-2024, not as a current justice, and lists Chad Bridges in that place from 2025.
