Many Texas judges and elected prosecutors may see a 12 percent salary increase, after the 83rd Legislature appropriated $17.38 million per fiscal year for judicial raises.
The funds would cover raises and increases in retirement benefits for judges and others whose compensation is statutorily"linked to the salary" of district judges, according to Senate Bill 1. That includes Texas Supreme Court justices, Court of Criminal Appeals judges, district judges, county court-at-law judges, and most elected district and county attorneys. Texas law also links legislators’ pensions to district judges’ salaries.
