About the Third Court of Appeals

  • ​The Third Court of Appeals hears appeals based on civil cases where judgment rendered exceeds $250, exclusive of costs, and other civil proceedings as provided by law; and in criminal cases except in post-conviction writs of habeas corpus and in which the death penalty has been imposed.
  • Texas is divided into 14 courts of appeals jurisdictions.  The Third Court of Appeals covers 24 counties: Bastrop, Bell, Blanco, Burnet, Caldwell, Coke, Comal, Concho, Fayette, Hays, Irion, Lampasas, Lee, Llano, McCulloch, Milam, Mills, Runnels, San Saba, Schleichar, Sterling, Tom Green, Travis, and Williamson.
  • The Third Court of Appeals is composed of a Chief Justice and five justices.  Place 4 is the only seat on the November 1, 2022 ballot. Lesli R. Fitzpatrick is the Republican Nominee and the best qualified attorney for this position.
  • Appeals in the courts of appeals are usually heard by a panel of three justices, unless an en banc hearing is ordered in a particular case, in which all justices of the court hear and consider cases.
  • Courts of Appeal are the ONLY courts to which an individual has an ABSOLUTE right to appeal.
