PROBATE, GUARDIANSHIP, AND CIVIL DEPARTMENT
Probate and Guardianship Court cases deal with protecting the wishes, rights and obligations of persons regarding their property when individuals are unable to do so as a result of death, (probating will) or incapacitating illness, either physical or mental.
Mental Commitments relate to the involuntary commitment of an individual and requires the adherence to the temporary commitment procedures codified in the Texas Mental Health Code. Before the Mental Health Court, i.e., the Probate Court, can issue an Order of Protective Custody (OPC) to restrain an individual with mentally illness who presents a substantial risk of serious harm to him or herself or others, with proper paperwork and Court proceedings.
Civil courts hear cases regarding small claims, appeals from the justice of the peace courts, condemnations, and various other cases that do not involve criminal charges. (Note that divorces, custody, and other family cases are heard by the District Court.)
