The Constitution (Article 1, Section 2, Clause 4) states:

"When Vacancies happen in the Representation from any State, the Executive

Authority thereof shall issue Writs of Election to fill such Vacancies."

This means that all House vacancies be filled by special election. There is no constitutional provision for the appointment of interim Representatives.

What are Midterm vacancies in district courts in Texas are filled by?

Midterm vacancies in Texas district courts are filled by appointment. The Governor of Texas appoints a replacement, typically from a list of candidates provided by the local judicial selection committee.

This process ensures that the court maintains its functionality while allowing voters to ultimately decide on the long-term judicial leadership.
