Where will I go to court for a family violence case?
In Austin, most family violence cases are assigned to Travis County Court at Law #4, which is presided over by Judge Mike Denton. The most serious felony cases, however, are assigned to one of the Travis County Criminal District Courts. All of these courts are located in the Blackwell/Thurman Criminal Justice Center (CJC), which is located at 509 West 11th Street, Austin TX 78701. Here’s a map of the courthouse complex.
