In 2007, Pitre declined to seek a third term and Gisclair in a runoff defeated newly-minted Republican Theriot. In the preceding primary on October 20, 2007, Theriot led with 4,797 votes (37 percent) to Gisclair 's 4,396 (33.8 percent). The balance was held by a second Democrat, John Melancon, Jr., with 3,821 votes (29.4 percent). In the general election in November 2007, Gisclair defeated Theriot by 121 votes, 4,128 (50.7 percent) to 4,007 (49.3 percent, in still another narrow race in the highly competitive district.

In 2012, Theriot was elected to the First Circuit Court of Appeals, District 1, Division B for a term of ten years though he had trailed in the nonpartisan blanket [[primary]]. The judgeship covers eight parishes. Still a Republican, Theriot polled 33.7 percent of the vote in the primary. He then defeated Democrat William Dupont in the runoff election on December 8, 2012. In that contest Theriot polled 25,793 (53 percent) to Dupont's 22,783 (47 percent).<ref>{{cite web|url=https://ballotpedia.org/Mitch_Theriot|title=Mitch Theriot|publisher=Ballotpedia|accessdate=April 4, 2020}}</ref><ref>Louisiana Secretary of State, Election Returns, December 8, 2012.</ref>
