TEXAS ASSOCIATION OF RETIRED, SENIOR AND FORMER JUDGES
A Voice for Retired, Senior and Former Texas Judges
The Texas Association of Retired, Senior and Former Judges, Inc. is a non-profit, tax-exempt professional association dedicated to promoting the administration of justice by retired, senior and former judges.
March 2026 - Update
It is time to begin planning for the next legislative session. We need your help! Although we had success during the last legislative session, raising VJ pay by 25% of the salary of an eight- year judge, we fell far short of our ultimate goal of obtaining long overdue adjustments to the retirement benefits for JRS1 and JRS2 retirees. Although that outcome was disappointing, we will continue to fight for those retirees and their beneficiaries during the interim and in the next session by: 1) seeking reinstatement of the language that allows our JRS1 retirees and beneficiaries to receive a raise when the active judges receive a raise, and 2) obtaining a COLA or an upward adjustment in retirement pay for JRS 2 retirees.
Our success requires your support and involvement.
