: Supreme Court of Texas BlogLehrmann appointed to Texas Supreme Court effective June 21
By Don Cruse
Today, Governor Perry announced the appointment of district judge Debra Lehrmann to be a justice on the Texas Supreme Court, effective June 21, 2010.
Judge Lehrmann will be assuming Place 3, the seat of Justice O”Neill, who a few weeks ago formally notified the Governor that she would be stepping down on June 20, 2010.
Place 3 is up for election this fall, and Justice Lehrmann is already the Republican nominee for that seat. On the fall ballot, she is opposed by Justice Jim Sharp (D) and William Strange (L).
More links about the election, including a short Q&A with soon-to-be Justice Lehrmann, are collected on our Elections 2010 page.
