Where Your Case Will Be Heard
Arlington companies litigate high-value business matters a few miles west at the Tim Curry Justice Center, 401 W. Belknap St., Fort Worth. The civil district courts there: the 48th, 67th, 96th, 153rd, and their peers, handle breach-of-contract suits, fiduciary-duty claims, partnership fallouts, and other commercial disputes.
For deals that top roughly $5 million or raise internal-governance, securities, or derivative issues, counsel may file directly in the Texas Business Court’s Eighth Division, headquartered in Fort Worth. The specialized docket accelerates discovery, offers judges steeped in complex finance, and can issue statewide subpoenas.
