Democratic Judge Tina Clinton Claims Late Victory in Dallas Court of Appeals Election

The news of an all-Republican sweep of the Texas Fifth Court of Appeals in Dallas last week was premature. 

Citing mail-in ballots and provisional voting from Dallas County and Collin County, multiple sources have told The Texas Lawbook that Dallas County Criminal Court Judge Tina Clinton, a Democrat, appears to have flipped the election results and won her race for the Dallas appeals court against Thompson Coe commercial litigator Matthew Kolodoski.
