In Texas there are Constitutional County Courts, which were created by the Texas Constitution and County Courts at Law, which were created by statute. There is a Constitutional County Court (CCC) in every Texas county. CCCs have executive duties in governing the county and may also have judicial duties, depending on the county. County Courts at Law (CCAL) do not exist in every county. Some counties have one or more CCALs to remove the judicial burden from the CCCs. Both types of county courts may have similar judicial jurisdiction, but it depends on the county. For more information on Constitutional County Courts, County Courts at Law, and the Texas state trial court system, as well as a directory of Texas courts, visit the Texas Courts Guide related link.
