The Courts That Hear Cases from Live Oak County
Court cases from Live Oak County are filed in the Live Oak County District Court, which hears felonies, divorces, land title cases and civil cases without a dollar limit.
Below it, the County Courts and Justice Courts take misdemeanors in the County Court or County Court at Law; traffic tickets, evictions and small claims in the Justice Courts.
A city with a municipal court of its own tries the tickets written under its ordinances.
Divorces go to the District Court, and the file stays with the District Clerk.
The District Clerk for district court cases and the County Clerk for county court cases keep the files, and a copy of anything in a file comes from that office, under the court's own rules rather than the Texas Public Information Act.
