Filing an Eviction in Dallas, Collin, Tarrant & Denton Counties

Why Location Matters

In Texas, eviction cases must be filed in the Justice Court:

  • In the precinct where the property is located
  • In the county where the property is located
  • Filing in the wrong location means your case will be dismissed and you won't get your filing fees back.
