Bexar County, Texas contains twenty-seven judicial districts, two probate courts, one county court, and fifteen county courts at law.
U.S. District Court – Western District of Texas.
There are 94 district courts, 13 circuit courts, and one Supreme Court throughout the country. Courts in the federal system work differently in many ways than state courts. The primary difference for civil cases (as opposed to criminal cases) is the types of cases that can be heard in the federal system.
They serve lifetime terms. The Northern District contains 12 judges, the Southern District contains 19 judges, the Eastern District contains eight judges, and the Western District contains 13 judges. Decisions by all four district courts may be appealed to the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals.
The geographical area served by each court is established by the Legislature, but each county must be served by at least one district court. In sparsely populated areas of the State, several counties may be served by a single district court, while an urban county may be served by many district courts.
Bexar County is governed by a Commissioners Court, composed of four Commissioners and one County Judge, who acts as the presiding officer. The Commissioners represent their respective precincts, which are roughly equal in population and geographic area.
