Describe the different levels of courts in the Texas judicial system. Does the Texas judicial structure need to be streamlined and unified (are there too many courts with similar functions and overlapping jurisdiction)?
What will be an ideal response?
Answer: An ideal response will:
1. Identify the five levels of courts in Texas.
2. Briefly outline the jurisdiction of municipal/justice of the peace courts, county-level courts, district courts, intermediate courts of appeals, and courts of last resort.
3. State and defend a position on the structure of the judiciary
