No Democrat filed to run for Judge of the Court of Criminal Appeals, place 9. This is good news for the Libertarian Party of Texas, since the Libertarian Party does have a candidate for that office. This means it is virtually a certainty that the Libertarian Party will again poll at least 5% for at least one of the statewide races in November 2008. It is not known if anyone filed for this particular office in the parties that hope to obtain a place on the ballot this year: Green, Reform, Constitution, New American Independent, and Texas Independence. UPDATE: no one from the Constitution Party, and no one from the Green Party, filed for that particular judicial office
