Texas has two high courts: the Supreme Court, which is the court of last resort for all civil cases, and the Court of Criminal Appeals, which is the court of last resort for all criminal cases. Both the Supreme Court and the Court of Criminal Appeals have nine justices, and all eighteen of the justices are Republican.
