In each election year, the HBA asks its members to indicate their preferences in contested judicial and some administrative races. The 2016 Judicial Preference Poll includes Democratic, Green, Libertarian, and Republican candidates in contested races for the Supreme Court of Texas, the Court of Criminal Appeals, the Houston Courts of Appeals, Harris County District Courts, Harris County Courts at Law, Justice of the Peace Courts, Harris County District Attorney, and Harris County Attorney. The poll was conducted through online voting, with 1,962 ballots cast, representing a return rate of 21.2% of eligible HBA voters.
Believing that an informed electorate is vital to the efficient administration of justice, the Houston Bar Association has conducted judicial polls since the early 1970s.
