This 2010 article [1] by (the highly-regarded) Stanford law professor Mark Lemley [2] is old, but might be helpful. Excerpt: "Notably, the Eastern District of Texas, while it has a higher than average plaintiff win rate, is not in the top five districts.

The three E.D. Tex. judges listed in the chart (at page 20 of the PDF) had patent-owner win rates of 63%, 73%, and 64% respectively.
