A Texas constitutional amendment passed by voters Tuesday ends the requirement that state district and appellate jurists must leave the bench when they reach their 75th birthday. Now, a district judge who reaches the age of 75 during a four-year term can serve the remainder of the term, but an appellate justice who turns 75 during the first four years of a six-year term has to step down at the end of the fourth year of the term. One appellate judge noted, "Half a loaf is better than no loaf."

A constitutional amendment on the Tuesday ballot in Texas, which was passed by voters, ends the requirement that state district and appellate jurists must leave the bench when they reach their 75th birthday.
But the effect that Proposition 14 will have on individual jurists depends on when an individual turns 75 during his or her term and whether the term is for four or six years.
