Justice who overturned Yates case trails in race
The Texas Primary
The appellate judge who wrote the 2005 opinion overturning Andrea Yates' murder conviction trailed his Republican challenger in early primary voting returns Tuesday.
Judge Sam Nuchia of the Texas 1st Court of Appeals lagged behind Houston lawyer Ed Hubbard for his seat on the three-judge panel.
Nuchia is best known for writing the ruling that led to a retrial for Yates, who was convicted of drowning her five children and who was later found innocent by reason of insanity.
Three other incumbent Republican state jurists led their challengers in early returns.
Court of Criminal Appeals Judge Paul Womack led challenger Robert Francis, and Steve McKeithen of the 9th Court of Appeals led Conroe attorney Jay Wright.
Judge Bill Boyce of the Texas 14th Court of Appeals led challenger James "Jim" Holland Jr. in the GOP primary.
Texas Supreme Court
Place 8: In the Democratic primary, Galveston Judge Susan Criss led appellate Judge Linda Reyna Yanez.
Criss presided over the 2003 high-profile trial of New York real estate heir Robert Durst and the civil lawsuits after the 2005 BP refinery explosion in Texas City.
Place 7: In another contested Democratic race, Sam Houston led Baltasar Cruz.
Texas Railroad Commission
Three candidates were battling for the Democratic nomination.
Mark Thompson of Hamilton led in the contest for a seat on the three-person agency that regulates Texas' oil and gas industry, gas utilities, pipelines and other areas. Trailing were Art Hall of San Antonio and Dale Henry of Lampasas.
The winner will advance to the November election to face Republican Michael Williams, chairman of the commission.
