Texas kicks off the first round of primaries for the 2022 midterm season on March 1. Down the ballot beyond governor, candidates are running for a host of other statewide positions with a wide variety of duties -- and one position for which the title has nothing to do with the actual job.

Similar to the governorship, in which incumbent Greg Abbott is running for a third term, Texas Republicans currently hold all of these other statewide positions and some of the incumbents are facing primary challenges on March 1. Here's some background and key things to know about these races:
