The American legal system hears civil and criminal cases. A court case can go all the way to the Supreme Court to be heard.
The Supreme Court hears three kinds of cases. Cases appealed from lower federal courts account for two-thirds of the cases they hear. They also hear cases appealed from state's supreme courts, and sometimes hear cases that have not been previously heard by a lower court, such as between one state's government and another.
Any case, civil or criminal, decided in the lower trial courts which have been appealed. NOTE: Contrary to common misunderstanding, not all cases are accepted by the Appelate Courts for appeal. The cases are reviewed and only certain ones are chosen for actual deliberation.

Article Three describes the judicial branch of the federal government - which is made up of the federal courts and judges including the Supreme Court. The article specifically requires that there be one court called the Supreme Court; Congress, at its discretion, creates lower courts, whose judgments and orders are reviewable by the Supreme Court. This Article also sets the kinds of cases that may be heard by the federal judiciary, which cases the Supreme Court may hear first (called original jurisdiction) and specifies that all other cases heard by the Supreme Court are by appeal under such regulations as the Congress shall make.

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.
