Judge Rejects Effort to Block Tarrant County Polling-Site Reduction
A judge has rejected an effort to block the reduction of polling sites in Tarrant County, meaning over 100 previous locations will remain closed for upcoming elections.
Dallas Fort Worth, TX, October 13, 2026 —
A judge has rejected an effort to block a reduction in polling sites in Tarrant County. As a result, more than 100 locations used in previous elections will remain closed for upcoming elections, according to the available information.
The summary of the decision does not identify the judge, the people or groups who sought to stop the reduction, or the reasons the judge rejected their effort. It also does not provide the date of the decision or specify which elections are affected.
The number of polling sites that will remain closed is described as “over 100,” but no exact total is provided. The available information does not say how many locations will be open, whether other sites will be added, or how voters will be notified about where to cast ballots.
The decision means the effort to prevent the reductions did not succeed. It does not, on the information provided, establish why the polling sites were reduced or describe any findings by the judge. Details about the legal arguments, the county’s plans for the upcoming elections and any further steps in the case were not provided.
Without those details, the practical effects of the closures for voters cannot be assessed from the available information. The confirmed outcome is limited to the judge’s rejection of the effort and the resulting closure of more than 100 locations that had been used previously.
