Municipal Court
Municipal Courts have original jurisdiction over ordinance violations and minor misdemeanors committed in city limits, where the maximum penalty is a fine. Municipal judges can issue search and arrest warrants and have limited jurisdiction in civil cases that involve owners of dangerous dogs.
District Court
District Courts are the trial courts of general jurisdiction, and each county must be served by at least one District Court. District Court has original jurisdiction in divorce cases, felony criminal cases, civil cases involving more than $200, cases contesting elections, juvenile matters and family law, and land disputes.
Constitutional County Courts
Each county has a county judge, although in counties with bigger populations, the county judge may only handle the administration of county government. Constitutional County Courts have jurisdiction over criminal cases involving Classes A and B misdemeanors, more serious minor offenses.
Constitutional County Courts have jurisdiction over civil cases involving between $200 and $20,000. They also have jurisdiction over probate, mental health, and guardianship cases. They have exclusive original jurisdiction over misdemeanor cases that carry fines of more than $500 or a jail sentence.
The constitutional county courts have original jurisdiction over all criminal cases involving Class A and Class B misdemeanors, which are the more serious minor offenses. These courts usually have appellate jurisdiction in cases appealed from justice of the peace and municipal courts, except in counties where county courts at law have been established.
County Courts at Law
For more populous counties, County Courts at Law may be created in addition to Constitutional County Courts. These courts are created by the state legislature, which also creates their jurisdiction. For some of these courts, their jurisdiction may be concurrent with the jurisdiction of county and district courts. County Courts at Law have jurisdiction over civil cases involving between $200 and $250,000, although some courts may have higher limits.
Statutory Probate Courts
In the counties with bigger populations, the state legislature has authorized special probate courts to hear probate matters exclusively. These courts have jurisdiction over county probate cases, guardianship matters, and mental health cases.
Justice Courts
Each county must have between 1 and 8 Justice of the Peace precincts, dependent on the population of the county. These courts have jurisdiction over minor misdemeanor cases and minor civil matters. A Justice of the Peace can issue search and arrest warrants and may serve as coroner in counties where there is no medical examiner. They also can hear small claims cases up to $20,000 and eviction cases.
