Texas’s 15th Court of Appeals
The 15th Court of Appeals was created in 2023 and became effective on Sept. 1, 2024. The court will ultimately consist of a chief justice and four justices, but SB1045 states it will have a chief justice and two justices for the first three years after its creation. That’s why only a chief justice and two justices appear on the ballot. Place 4 takes effect Sept. 1, 2028, and Place 5 takes effect Sept. 1, 2029; both will appear on the 2030 general election ballot.

District Courts and County Criminal District Courts
District judges in Texas preside over felony criminal cases and major civil and family law cases. District judges are elected locally in partisan elections. Party nominees who win the primary meet in the November general election, and the winner serves a four-year term representing that judicial district. There are hundreds of district courts across the state, including 32 in Dallas County, 24 in Tarrant County, 15 in Collin County and 12 in Denton County. A map of the courts’ jurisdiction area is available at txcourts.gov. County Criminal Courts have the same jurisdiction as District Courts and hear felony criminal cases.

Probate Courts
A probate court is part of a specialized system for handling a deceased person’s will, paying debts, and transferring property to heirs. Texas does not use the same court structure in every county. In larger counties, like Dallas or Tarrant, specialized courts handle only probate and guardianship matters. In medium-sized counties, a general county court may handle probate matters. In rural counties, the county judge or district courts may have jurisdiction over probate cases.
