Judges in Texas are not appointed, but rather elected. The only time a Judge is appointed is when there is a vacancy between elections. The Governor may then appoint a Judge to fill the vacancy until the next election. Bush has only appointed about four judges since taking office. Of those appointments, all but one were strangers to him. The AG, and others in Government try to bend the ear of the Gov to get friends appointed. The same is true in the appointment of Federal Judges too.
