Quitman Justice of Peace Court serves the residents of Wood County, the 143th 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 Quitman 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 Quitman Justice of Peace Court judge has been in office since 2013 and has dedicated his life serving the Quitman. The courts, the district clerk, and the county clerk’s office are located in the historic Wood County Courthouse. The Quitman Justice of Peace Court is located on 402 North Stephens Street in the city of Quitman, the Wood county seat.

Quitman Justice of Peace Court was first built in 1902 in the Wood Courthouse Square where the first sessions of the court were held alfresco underneath the boughs of oak trees in July 1864.
