From official pages
Scott Brister, Republican, is certified for chief justice of the 15th Court of Appeals. The court says Governor Abbott appointed him as its first chief justice effective September 1, 2024, and that he previously served on the Texas Supreme Court and on other Texas trial and appellate courts. The Ethics Commission office-sought line says Supreme Court justice, Place 9, which does not match this ballot, so that line was not used.
