The 3 of Austin is a special appeals court that is the only court that can overturn all of the of Texas State judges in cases against the government not just the ones in their district. They are only elected by Austin County and are only accountable to the voters of that one county.
Same for the DA of Austin County, He/She is the only one who can investigate any elected state official in Texas, not just the ones from Austin County but all of the state.
This was a political manuever put in the state constitution by the Democrats in 1971 to consolidate their power as the writing was on the wall that conservatives were taking over Texas (hey they wrote this – I’m not making it up they were PROUD OF IT)
IIs the equivalent of Delaware being the only state that can vote in Supreme Court Judges.
So when we look at the 3 of Austin no one loses a belch – notice that the State Supreme Court is in no hurry to heqr the case – everyone is in custody where CPS thinks they should be
