For civil cases, Circuit Courts generally handle matters where the amount in dispute is over $10,000. Circuit Courts and District Courts share jurisdiction over cases where the amount in dispute is less than $10,000 but more than $3,000; District Courts almost always hear the cases where the amount in dispute is less than $3,000 (small claims).

District Courts are the courts of general jurisdiction in the Texas court system, and they may hear any civil or criminal case. Generally, District Courts hear cases beyond the jurisdiction of other courts, such as felony crimes, civil cases for large sums of money, contested probate cases, and family cases, such as divorce. Every county has at least one District Court, and some have several. Some smaller counties share District Courts. District Courts are numbered, so you may see a District Court identified as, for example, Bexar County District Court, or Bexar County 131st District Court. In counties with more than one District Court, this numbering system helps to differentiate between courts. Other trial courts in the Texas state court system include County Courts, Justice of the Peace Courts, and Municipal Courts. What cases each of these types of courts hears varies county to county.
