WHY THIS RACE MATTERS
District judges hear the most serious cases in Texas: felony crimes and big civil lawsuits.

The 432nd District Court is a felony court, where the most serious criminal cases are tried. Lee Sorrells, the Republican candidate, says he started in 2007 as a Tarrant County jailer, became a deputy and sergeant, then went to law school.
Courtney Miller

Judges on the 432nd District Court oversee felony cases, the serious crimes charged in Tarrant County. Courtney Miller, the Democratic candidate, has worked both sides: first as a prosecutor in Collin County, and now as a defense lawyer handling felony cases.
