FEATURED QUESTION
Yes. In 2013, all Small Claims Courts in Texas were abolished. However, so-called “small claims cases” are now resolved in Justice Court. The Texas Supreme Court has adopted special rules to govern such cases. To review them, see Rules of Practice in Justice Courts.
TLG CONTRIBUTOR

Texas Marital Property Law 101
“Nearly all Texans know that Texas is a community property state. But I'm not sure how many really know what that means—I've learned that most people think it means that each spouse gets half of everything. But if it were that simple, estate planning and divorce lawyers would be jobless. So I've devised this crash course in Texas marital property law to give you a basic working knowledge of Texas' community property system.”
TEXAS COUNTIES
Administration of the state's judicial system is handled mainly at the county level. TLG has a separate category page for each county. Links for the five most populous counties appear below along with a link that provides access to all such pages.
