The Justice Court has jurisdiction over all “class C” misdemeanors – fineable offenses only, truancy cases, civil law suits up to $10,000, evictions, acting coroner for all unattended deaths, and witness to wedding contracts.
Frequently, the Court receives calls from parties who are asking for legal advice. Please note that the Court does not give legal advice and does not represent any party in a claim before this Court. For legal advice please consult an attorney. You may find a local attorney through the Texas Bar website (www.TexasBar.com) or go to TexasLawHelp.org.
