Judges and justices are appointed to all Article III federal courts, such as the US District Courts, US Court of Appeals Circuit Courts, US Court of International Trade, and the Supreme Court of the United States.

Some states use a Gubernatorial or Legislative appointment process, too, although most use popular election or a combination of appointment and election.

Do all Texas judges serve for life?

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.
