The Texas Judicial System has three levels of trial court – District, County, and Justice or Municipal and two Appellate Courts. The Justice of the Peace falls into the Justice Court. This court is the most uniform court in the state.
Each county is required to have a Justice of the Peace, and generally there is one for each precinct. The precincts are based on population. These precincts can be changed through redistricting by the commissioners court.
The Justice Court has jurisdiction over civil, small claims, and eviction suits up to $20,000 exclusive of interest. Because the Justice Court is not a court of record, any appeal to county court is trial de novo, or a new trial.
