A senator-elect who unseated a six-term incumbent has prefiled legislation that turns the heads of many legal observers.

Sen.-elect Don Huffines, R-Dallas, has proposed deadlines for appellate courts and punishments for justices who don’t meet deadlines. He also proposed that high court jurists should only serve two terms in office, and that most of the state’s judges—as well as county and district attorneys—should face limits of eight years in office.
