This month's front cover artwork: Artist: Joella Reid 11th grade Whiteface High School School children's artwork has decorated the blank filler pages of the Texas Register since 1987. Teachers throughout the state submit the drawings for students in grades K-12. The drawings dress up the otherwise gray pages of the Texas Register and introduce students to this obscure but important facet of state government. We will display artwork on the cover of each Texas Register. The artwork featured on the front cover is chosen at random. The artwork is published on what would otherwise be blank pages in the Texas Register. These blank pages are caused by the production process used to print the Texas Register. The artwork does not add additional pages to each issue and does not increase the cost of the Texas Register. Texas Register, (ISSN 0362-4781), is published weekly, 52 times a year.

Dr. Félix Almaraz first perked my interest in history during my Freshman year at St. Mary’s University in San Antonio.

I was majoring in political science, and that, I thought, would equip me to make a difference in the present and the future.

Background on Judicial Elections Unlike the federal model of judicial selection, the model for the selection of state judges has undergone significant change through- out American history.' Until the mid-1800s, state judicial selection generally adhered to the federal model, emphasizing the appoint- ment of judges. Typically, judges were selected by gubernatorial appointment coupled with confirmation by a special commission or the legislature; in some cases, judges were appointed directly by the state legislature. 2 The emergence of Jacksonian egalitarian democratic ideals in the nineteenth century brought about a grow- ing belief that judges, like other public officials, should be account- able to the voting public? As that ideal gained acceptance among reformers, states began moving away from legislative and guberna- torial appointment and toward the selection of judges by popular election.
