Sitting just shy of 1 million people, Collin County is the sixth most populous state in the state of Texas. With nearly a million people calling Collin County home, it’s no surprise to learn that Collin County has a large number of probate cases.
While Texas probate laws carry similarities throughout the state, each probate case is handled in its respective county. Because of this, it is important to understand the differences in how probate cases are handed in each county.
Denton County is one of several Texas counties that have at least one statutory probate court. These courts hear exclusively probate and guardianship cases and cases related to probates and guardianships.
