Navigating the Bell County Court System
The Justice Center divides cases between different wings based on the charge level. Because every judge has a different style, your attorney must know the specific habits of the bench.
- Misdemeanors
The County Courts at Law (#1, #2, and #3) hear Class A and B misdemeanors. Our team monitors the specific dockets and prosecutorial styles in each room. - Felonies
The District Courts (such as the 27th, 264th, and 426th) handle serious felony matters. These high-stakes cases require us to file aggressive motions and perform relentless investigations immediately.
