The Texas Court System Demystified

The Texas court system can be confusing.  Texas has 254 counties, which is more than any other U.S. state, and every Texas county has its own set of courts.  At a minimum, each county has a District Court, a County Court at Law, and Justice of the Peace courts.  Each court, in turn, typically has multiple judges, who are assigned to various different courtrooms.  For example, each District Court is likely to have multiple courtrooms, likewise with each County Court at Law and each county’s Justice of the Peace Courts.

Texas, like other states, has various intermediate courts of appeal, which typically hear appeals from the lower (trial) courts.

Finally, Texas has a State Supreme Court.  However, unlike the overwhelming majority of other states, the Texas Supreme Court does not hear appeals from criminal cases; Texas has a separate “Supreme” court for criminal cases.
