Texas courts
The Texas judiciary is structurally unlike Florida's — starting with the fact that it has two courts of last resort. Here is the forum map that drives which court hears your matter and which rules apply.
The split
Texas has TWO courts of last resort: the Supreme Court (civil/juvenile) and the Court of Criminal Appeals — the platform's civil lane routes to SCOTX and says so.
Justice courts
Civil jurisdiction to $20,000 + eviction; TRCP Part V (500-510) governs; no formal discovery without leave (500.8).
County courts at law
Jurisdiction varies COUNTY BY COUNTY under Gov't Code ch. 25 — the per-county sections are loaded; the forum resolver cites the county's own section.
District courts
The general-jurisdiction trial courts (Tex. Const. art. V, § 8); numbered judicial districts, multi-district counties run central or individual assignment BY LOCAL RULE.
Business Court
Gov't Code ch. 25A — the specialty forum for qualifying business disputes (its 25 loaded sections carry the thresholds); its own TOPICS document set is in the local layer.
Courts of appeals
Intermediate review by district; TRAP governs; en banc and transfer practice per the rules and RJA.
SCOTX
Petition-for-review practice (TRAP 53-60) + the rulemaking power (Gov't Code § 22.004) that produced the July-2026 TRCP edition this corpus carries.
Administrative judicial regions
Eleven administrative judicial regions (Gov't Code ch. 74) — the presiding-judge layer that assigns visiting judges and hears certain recusals; the AJR regional rules are loaded from TOPICS.
