"The structure of the Texas judicial system is laid out in Article 5 of the Texas Constitution, and is further defined under the Texas Government Code and, with regards to probate matters, under the Texas Probate Code.

The structure is highly complex, featuring five layers of courts, several instances of overlapping jurisdiction, and an unusual bifurcated appellate system at the top level found only in one other state." [1]
