The specialty child protection courts in Texas were created to assist trial courts in the rural areas in managing their child abuse and neglect dockets.  Like the child support court associate judges, these associate judges are appointed by the presiding judges of the administrative judicial regions and are Office of Court Administration employees.  At the discretion of the presiding judge of the administrative judicial regions, visiting judges are sometimes appointed to hear these cases instead of associate judges.  The judges assigned to these dockets hear child abuse and neglect cases exclusively.
