Misdemeanor Trial Division
1800 N. Graves St., Ste. 200
McKinney, TX 75069
More than a dozen law enforcement agencies file between
500 - 1100 misdemeanor cases each month with our Intake Division. When
misdemeanor cases are accepted for prosecution, they are randomly filed
in each of the five County Courts at Law. The prosecutors assigned to
a court by the District Attorney are responsible for the cases filed in
that court.
The docketing of criminal cases occurs daily in every court.
Prosecutors in the Misdemeanor Trial Division tried 353 jury trials in
2004, an all-time record, and disposed of more than 8,500 misdemeanor
cases.
The Chief of this Division is responsible for all aspects
of its operation, including the training and professional development
of the trial attorneys and providing the education and experience they
need on their road to becoming the best trial attorneys in Texas. The
Division Chief also advises the District Attorney and the First Assistant
on all matters relating to the Misdemeanor Division, including transfers,
assignments, and promotions of misdemeanor prosecutors.
