Upshur County Court serves the residents of Upshur County, the 154th 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 Gilmer 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 Upshur County Court judge has been in office since 2014 and has dedicated his life serving the Gilmer. The courts, the district clerk, and the county clerk’s office are located in the historic Upshur County Courthouse. The Upshur County Court is located on 100 West Tyler Street in the city of Gilmer, the Upshur county seat.

Upshur County Court was first built in 1903 in the Upshur Courthouse Square where the first sessions of the court were held alfresco underneath the boughs of oak trees in September 1903. Four courthouses have been built in Gilmer. The current fourth courthouse is a great architectural marvel featuring a double-spiral staircase and a beautiful stained-glass montage in the dome.
