Texas Judicial Branch

The Texas Judicial Branch interprets and applies state laws through a system of courts. It includes Supreme Court, which is the highest court for civil and juvenile cases, and Court of Criminal Appeals, which handles criminal cases. Below these, there are Court of Appeals, District Courts, and County Courts, each serving different types of cases and regions. The judiciary ensures laws are fairly enforced and resolves disputes, maintaining justice in Texas. Judges are independently elected or appointed, ensuring an impartial judiciary to uphold the rule of law across the state.
