STATE DEFENDANTS' ANSWERS TO PLAINTIFF-INTERVENORS 
HOUSTON LAWYERS' ASSOCIATION'S SECOND SET OF 

INTERROGATORIES AND REQUESTS FOR PRODUCTION 

The state defendants in this action answer as follows to Plaintiff- 

Intervenors' Second Set of Interrogatories and Requests for Production of 

Documents, served on May 17, 1989: 

Interrogatory No. 1: Explain and describe whether you oppose or do not 

support the election of district judges in the state of Texas from single 

member districts smaller in size than an entire county, including but not 

limited to, why you do or do not support the use of such an electoral 

scheme for the election of district judges in Texas, and whether you 

contend that the election of judges from single member districts would 

undermine any state policy or rationale related to district judges. 

Answer Interr r 

As we understand the question, it first must be pointed out that each 

of the State Defendants is sued in his official capacity only. These answers 

are given in light of that fact. State district judges in Texas already are 

elected from single member districts. Article 5, § 7a(i) of the Texas 

Constitution embodies the people's policy choice not to permit those 

 



  

districts to be smaller in size than a county unless specified preconditions 

are met. 

R for Pr ion 1: Please provide for inspection and 

copying any documents which support your answer to Interrogatory No. 1, 

or on which you base your answer to Interrogatory No. 1. 

Answer R for Pr ion 1 

The matters discussed in the foregoing answer are found in state 

statutes and the state constitution. 

Interrogatory No. 2: Explain and describe whether or not you oppose or 

do not support the use of a non-exclusionary at large system, such as 

limited or cumulative voting, for the election of district judges in Texas, 

including but not limited to, why you do or do not support the use of such 

an electoral scheme for the election of district judges in Texas, and 

whether you contend that the election of district judges using such an 

electoral scheme, would undermine or violate any state policy or rationale 

related to district judges. 

Answer to Interrogatory No. 2: 
  

The current system for electing state district judges is "non- 

exclusionary." It also is a single member district system. Because state 

law currently does not contemplate the use of either cumulative or limited 

voting, using it would contravene the state's policy as expressed in its 

constitution and statutes. As you are aware, one of the State Defendants, 

Chief Justice Phillips, recently discussed cumulative voting in his 

deposition. 

Request for Production No, 2: Please provide for inspection and 
  

copying any documents which support your answer to Interrogatory No. 2, 

or on which you base your answer to Interrogatory No. 2.
