Constitutional courts are those established under Article III of the Constitution. These federal judges and Supreme Court justices are appointed "during good behavior," which means "for life," unless the judge/justice commits an impeachable offense and is removed from office involuntarily. Judges may resign or retire voluntarily.
The Article III (constitutional courts) comprise the Judicial Branch of government, and include only the following:
Article III, Section 1 of the Constitution reads, in part: "The Judges, both of the supreme and inferior Courts shall hold their Offices during good Behaviour..."

yes None do. All Texas judges are elected. Judges on the Texas Supreme Court, Court of Criminal Appeals, and Court of Appeals are elected for six year terms. Texas District Court, County Court, and Justices of the Peace are elected for four year terms. Municipal Court judges (who have very limited powers) are either elected or appointed depending on the city's charter. This is in contrast to federal judges, most of whom are appointed for life, except for Bankruptcy Court judges who are appointed for 14 year terms, and Federal Magistrates who are appointed for eight year terms.
Samuel Nelson was appointed by Tyler in 1845.
Federal US District Court judges are appointed by the President but must be confirmed by the Senate. Judges presiding over US District Courts or US Special Courts are often suggested by a Senator of the state in which the judge will serve, and are nominated by the President as a matter of Senatorial courtesy.
There are currently nine US Supreme Court judges and they are appointed for life.
