Why the 5th District Court of Appeals is Important

THE BIGGEST APPELLATE COURT IN NORTH TEXAS

If you have an appeal in a family, criminal or civil matter in Dallas, Collin, Kaufman, Rockwall, Grayson or Hunt counties, the 5th District Court of Appeals, located in downtown Dallas, handles these cases. The 5th District Court of Appeals is comprised of 12 Justices and a Chief Justice who review decisions made at the trial level. Prior to 2018, the court was all Republican. In 2018, eight new Democratic Justices were elected to this court. Judge Goldstein has a longstanding interest in appellate law, and this is her second campaign for the 5th District Court of Appeals.
