Texas Attorney General Opinion
A court would likely define the term “retired judge” for purposes of Government Code subsection 26.023(a) by reference to its definition in Government Code subsection 74.041(6). Under that construction, a former constitutional county judge who does not otherwise satisfy subsection 74.041(6) is not eligible to be appointed as a visiting judge under Government Code subsection 26.023(a).
