Serving Harris County

Civil district cases in Harris County are filed with the District Clerk at the Harris County Civil Courthouse at 201 Caroline in downtown Houston, and the five civil County Courts at Law sit in the same building. Justice-court suits run through 16 courts spread across eight precincts, more than in any other county we serve.

Our Houston headquarters on Westheimer puts us close to every part of the county, from Baytown and Pasadena in the east to Katy, Cypress and Tomball in the west, so routine, rush and same-day requests start from nearby.
