Seminole Justice of Peace Court serves the residents of Gaines County, the 194th 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 Seminole 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.

Seminole Justice of Peace Court was first built in 1863 in the Gaines Courthouse Square where the first sessions of the court were held alfresco underneath the boughs of oak trees in August 1851.
