About this race

Fields are from Fort Bend County's official canvassed primary and runoff results; unopposed Texas nominees still print in November. The certified contest title carries no place number while the county roster shows two Precinct 3 places, so no incumbency is flagged until the final ballot resolves it.

What this office does

Justice of the peace. Justices of the peace handle the lowest-level court matters: small claims, evictions, traffic and minor criminal cases, and, in some states, marriages and inquests. The office is part of the judiciary, so candidates are limited in what they may promise.

This race. The sitting officeholder, Sonia Rash, is on the ballot.
