In Texas felonies are tried in what court?
In the Texas state court system, felonies are tried in District Court, generally in the county where the crime occurred. Other courts, such as County Courts, Justices of the Peace, and Municipal Courts, may hold felony preliminary hearings, but the actual trials take place in District Courts. Where preliminary hearings are held varies by county. Every county has at least one District Court, and some have several. Some smaller counties share District Courts. Keep in mind that federal crime felonies may be heard in federal courts, not state courts.

What are Texas District Courts?
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.
