State and federal criminal defense information
How do I identify the right court and jurisdiction?
A city name alone does not identify the final court. The listed charge, county, warrant, arresting agency, complaint, indictment, and official court notice may all matter. Texas district courts have original jurisdiction in felony criminal cases, while county-level and municipal structures handle other matters under state and local law.
For an overview of investigations, charges, evidence, and trial preparation, use the East Texas Criminal Defense and Murder Trial Knowledge Hub.
What should a family do after an arrest?
Confirm the facility, booking number, listed charge, arresting agency, and any known court or cause number. Avoid discussing case facts on a jail call, preserve paperwork, and contact qualified counsel. The family arrest guide provides a step-by-step checklist.

Does listing a city guarantee representation?
No. Availability depends on the facts, case type, jurisdiction, deadlines, scheduling, conflicts, and firm acceptance. A location page is an informational resource, not a promise that the firm accepts every matter in that city or county.
