San Antonio Court of Appeals Justice Luz Elena Chapa is facing a challenge to her Place 4 seat from the justice on the Place 3 seat of the same court.

Lori Massey Brissette, the former judge of Bexar County's 288th District Court, was appointed in July by Gov. Greg Abbott to fill the Place 3 position left vacant by the retirement of Justice Patricia Alvarez. Brissette had already chosen to run against Chapa when this occurred.
