Palestine Municipal Court serves the residents of Anderson County, the 235th largest county in Texas state. The county falls in the third senatorial district and the 11th congressional district. As a result, it holds a very special role that makes it supported by both the Palestine district clerk and county clerk. Issues that should be filed with the county clerk or the district clerk should be strictly filed within the respective courts; luckily, the staff is friendly and will help you through the process.

The current Palestine Municipal Court judge has been in office since 2019 and has dedicated his life serving the Palestine. The courts, the district clerk, and the county clerk’s office are located in the historic Anderson County Courthouse. The Palestine Municipal Court is located on 504 North Queen Street in the city of Palestine, the Anderson county seat.

Palestine Municipal Court was first built in 1858 in the Anderson Courthouse Square where the first sessions of the court were held alfresco underneath the boughs of oak trees in November 1869.
