Annual Supplemental Compensation
Various sections of Chapter 32, Government Code, authorize the state salaries of some district court judges to be supplemented from county funds. The General Appropriations Act for fiscal years 1998 - 1999 provides that the combined yearly salary of a judge of a district court may not exceed and amount that is $1,000 less than the combined yearly salary received by justices of Court of Appeals in whose district the district court is located.
The following detailed information regarding supplemental compensation was obtained from affidavits on file with the State Comptroller of Public Accounts.
