Dallas County Has Multiple Courts for Property Disputes

Where a property fight lands in Dallas County depends mostly on how big it is. The district courts take the heavy cases, the major real estate disputes. County courts at law handle the middle ground. And the Justice of the Peace courts take the smaller matters, including most landlord-tenant arguments and evictions.

If you're a landlord or a renter with a residential dispute, that thread runs through JP Court 2-1. Walking into the right court the first time saves you a wasted trip and a refiling. Addresses, hours, and the rest of the court list live at dallascounty.org/government/courts; when you genuinely can't tell which court fits, the county clerk's office can point you.
