County courts handle which jurisdiction?

• A. Civil jurisdiction up to 100k
• B. May be established as appeal court for class C
• C. Statute or Statutory Law is written law
• D. Criminal jurisdiction Class A & B misdemeanor

Answer: (D)

In Texas, county courts handle criminal matters involving the more serious misdemeanors. Class A and Class B misdemeanors are within the county court’s criminal jurisdiction, whereas Class C misdemeanors are generally handled by Municipal or Justice Courts. This makes the statement about county courts having criminal jurisdiction over Class A and B misdemeanors the correct choice.

The other options describe topics that aren’t about the specific criminal jurisdiction of county courts. Civil limits and appeal pathways mentioned don’t define what the county court is primarily responsible for criminally, and a broad statement like “statute or statutory law is written law” isn’t about jurisdiction at all.
