What's happens if she does? Someone gets promoted until a special election?

I cannot find the relevant statute, but the constitutional county judge recently resigned in a rural Texas county, and he was replaced by a vote of the county commissioners with the new judge to sit until the next regularly-scheduled election. No special election. I assume that they consulted the AG as to how they should proceed.
