What this office does

The Texas Constitution limits each county to a single county court, so the Legislature creates statutory county courts at law in more populous counties. The jurisdiction of each varies and is set by the statute creating that court; civil jurisdiction generally exceeds a justice court's and falls below a district court's, and these courts usually hear appeals from justice of the peace and municipal courts. County-level courts handle Class A and Class B misdemeanors. Statutory probate courts have original and exclusive jurisdiction over probate, guardianship and mental health commitments.
