A newly elected judge in Houston accidentally resigned on Monday, according to local media and a county official, after he shared plans online to run for the state supreme court, apparently unaware that the Texas constitution considers such an announcement an automatic resignation.
What's that old saying? Oh. Right. "
ignorantia legis neminem excusat"

Sorry Judge, but you know ignorance of the law isn’t an excuse!

That's funny! He only got 55% of the vote. Maybe his running opponent will complete his term. Wishful thinking.
