The Texas Judicial System
Court Structure
The Texas judicial system can be very confusing for those who are not familiar with it. The six types of trial courts in Texas include district courts, constitutional county courts, statutory county courts at law, statutory probate courts, justice of the peace courts, and municipal courts. All of these courts permit jury trials and you could be summoned to serve in any of these courts.
