Which court handles all felonies in Texas?

• A. Municipal Court
• B. County Court At Law
• C. District Court
• D. Court Of Appeals

Answer: (C)

Felonies, being the most serious crimes, are handled in Texas by district courts, which are the trial courts of general jurisdiction. District courts hear felony cases from start to finish—evaluating evidence, conducting trials, and imposing sentences. Other courts have narrower roles: Municipal Courts handle misdemeanors within cities (usually Class C misdemeanors), County Courts at Law handle some misdemeanors and civil matters but not felonies, and Court of Appeals reviews decisions on appeal rather than trying cases. Because felonies require the broader authority and procedures of a district court, that is the court that handles all felonies.
