Criminal defense for Corsicana cases
In short: Class C tickets from Corsicana go to the Corsicana Municipal Court at 200 N. 12th St., Corsicana 75110. Class A and B misdemeanors and felonies go to the appropriate county or district court; confirm the county on your case documents. Protective orders can be filed where either person lives or where the violence allegedly happened, and the hearing is generally within 14 days.
Our office is in downtown Dallas. We do not have an office in Corsicana, but we defend people charged in Corsicana and across Navarro County.
Which court will hear my Corsicana case?
| Type of case | Where it is heard | Who prosecutes |
|---|---|---|
| Class C (fine-only) tickets and city ordinance cases | Corsicana Municipal Court, 200 N. 12th St., Corsicana 75110 | City prosecutor |
| Class A and B misdemeanors, including most DWIs and family violence assaults | the Navarro County Court at Law (Courthouse, Suite 103), which also has concurrent jurisdiction with the district court over some felony matters, such as arraignments and guilty pleas, under Government Code 25.1772 | County prosecutor (see below) |
| Felonies | the 13th District Court | County or district prosecutor (see below) |
Municipal courts handle city ordinance violations and fine-only criminal offenses, including some Class C assault cases. Class A and B misdemeanors and felonies are handled by the appropriate county or district court. For conduct in the Navarro County portion of Corsicana, consult the Navarro County court information below. Some cities cross county lines; use the county and court on your citation, bond papers or court notice. The Navarro County Criminal District Attorney's Office (Courthouse, Suite 301) represents the State in criminal cases in both the district and county-level courts (Government Code 44.275).
This city is also the county seat, so the county courts are in town.
What happens after an arrest in Corsicana?
After an arrest, a magistrate explains the rights and addresses bail and conditions if allowed by law. Release is not automatic. Because one office prosecutes both misdemeanors and felonies in Navarro County, the same prosecutor's office handles a case even if a misdemeanor is later enhanced to a felony.
For a DWI, check the suspension notice immediately. The ALR hearing deadline is generally 15 days after service, or 20 days after DPS mails a notice following blood-test results. DPS explains these notice deadlines. Read the Navarro County DWI page for local DWI details.
