Court of Criminal Appeals

In 2021, the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals issued an 8–1 decision, holding that the Texas Attorney General does not have unilateral authority to prosecute election code violations.^[25] All three incumbent Judges up for re-election were part of the majority decision. As a result, Attorney General Ken Paxton recruited primary challengers to all three incumbent Republican judges.^[26] Ultimately, all three incumbent Judges were defeated by their challengers in the March Republican primary election.^[27]

Board of Education

All fifteen seats of the Texas Board of Education were up for election to four-year terms. The board follows a 2-4-4 term system; members are elected to two-year terms at the beginning of each decade. Based on the results of the 2022 election, the board was made up of ten Republicans and five Democrats; however, Democrat Aicha Davis had resigned from her seat to run for the Texas House of Representatives. Despite fellow Democrat Tiffany Clark running unopposed for the seat, Abbott appointed Republican Leslie Recine to fill Davis' unexpired term, giving Republicans an 11–4 majority on the board for the final two months of 2025.^[35] During this time, the board adopted the highly controversial Bluebonnet Learning curriculum, which incorporates religion, particularly Christianity, into its elementary school lessons. The passage gave districts financial incentive to adopt the curriculum, although it did not require it.^[36] Democrats held onto all of their seats, including a very narrow victory in district 1, returning the board to its 10–5 Republican majority at the start of 2025.^[37]
