With a dearth of Republican candidates running for judge in Travis County, the Democratic primary election has decided many district court races well ahead of the November elections.

Two races ended in upsets for male incumbent judges who were ousted by female Democratic challengers. The judges who are off the bench are 167th District Judge David Wahlberg and 345th District Judge Tim Sulak.

Here are the results of the rest of Austin's judicial races, according to the Texas Secretary of State's Office.
