Trick question? They start with the statutes passed by the legislature giving the courts their authority. There are different types of jurisdiction. Personal jurisdiction address the question of whether the courts in a particular state can require you to appear and participate. Subject-matter jurisdiction addresses the question of whether the court has the authority to hear a particular type of dispute. For example, divorces in most states are handled by a particular court, and the other courts in that state do not have subject-matter jurisdiction to hear that type of case. Authority simply refers to rules established that affect the decision of the court. Courts get their authority from the legislature. Once the courts are established, the superior courts (like the US Supreme Court on issues of interpreting the US Constitution) decide cases, which become authority for the inferior courts. Civil Procedure is a year-long law school course. About 1/3 of that deals with jurisdiction. It is not a simple question.

There are a number of trial courts in the Texas court system. The primary trial courts are District Courts, County Courts, Justice Courts, and Municipal Courts. The jurisdiction of each type of court varies from county to county. 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. County Courts may be of three different kinds - County Courts at Law, Constitutional County Courts, and Statutory Probate Courts. County Courts at Law hear misdemeanor criminal cases and civil cases for under $100,000. Constitutional County Courts are also known as County Commissioners' Courts, and may have limited judicial functions in counties that also have County Courts at Law. Statutory Probate Courts, in the counties where they exist, have jurisdiction over most probate matters. Justice Courts and Municipal Courts have limited jurisdiction over minor criminal offenses and minor civil cases, depending on the county.
