Which Texas court handles civil cases?

• A. Texas Supreme Court
• B. Court of Criminal Appeals
• C. District Courts
• D. Municipal Courts

Answer: (A)

In Texas, civil matters ultimately go to the highest court for civil issues. The Texas Supreme Court is the court that handles civil cases on appeal and serves as the final authority on civil law and procedure, including civil and juvenile appeals. The Court of Criminal Appeals is dedicated to criminal matters. District Courts are trial courts that hear civil cases at first instance, but they don’t act as the final appellate authority. Municipal Courts handle city ordinance violations and limited civil issues within municipalities. So for civil cases on appeal, the Texas Supreme Court is the correct choice because it is the court with the ultimate say in civil-law questions.
