Texas has two courts that function at the supreme court level: The Supreme Court of Texas, which hears juvenile and civil appeals, and The Court of Criminal Appeals, which hears criminal appeals.
The criminal court of appeals is the highest state court. Judges are elected for the position in the state courts of appeal.
Texas has two final appellate courts: The Texas Court of Criminal Appeals is the highest appellate court for criminal cases; the Supreme Court of Texas is the highest court for juvenile and civil cases.
The Oklahoma Supreme Court has nine justices. They are responsible for overseeing the state's judicial system and hearing appeals in civil and criminal cases. Justices are appointed by the governor and are confirmed by the Oklahoma Senate, with a system in place for retention elections.
No. Texas and Oklahoma are unique in that they each have two appellate courts functioning as the highest court in the State. In Texas, the Supreme Court reviews civil and juvenile cases, while the Court of Criminal Appeals reviews adult criminal cases. The two courts are independent of each other and of equal power, so neither has jurisdiction over the other's cases. The only exception is that the Supreme Court of Texas is responsible for devising and updating the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure, which also apply to the Court of Criminal Appeals.
