Mesquite Probate

The city of Mesquite is located east of Dallas and is part of the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex. Its jurisdiction places most of the city within Dallas County and a small part in Kaufman County.

It is of utmost importance to start the probate process in the correct jurisdiction. Probates filed in the incorrect court will very likely be thrown out even after going through all the steps, which is further complicated due to each court in Texas having its own set of probate proceedings and conditions.

However, our team of probate attorneys in Mesquite are committed to handling cases and guide clients, including the intricacies of the different county probate court systems.

Mesquite Probate Courts

Since the probate process will take place in the county that the decedent resided, Mesquite probate cases will be held within the Dallas County Probate Courts or Kaufman County Probate Courts.

Dallas County

• Dallas County Probate Court No. 1
  • The Honorable Brenda Hull Thompson
  • 1201 Elm Street, 24th Floor, Suite 2400-A. Dallas, TX 75270
• Dallas County Probate Court No. 2
  • The Honorable Ingrid M. Warren
  • 1201 Elm Street, 22nd Floor, Suite 2200-A. Dallas, TX 75270
• Dallas County Probate Court No. 3
  • The Honorable Margaret Jones-Johnson
  • 1201 Elm Street, 22nd Floor, Suite 2200-B. Dallas, TX 75270

The judges for all three probate courts have agreed to the Dallas County Local Court Rules, but each judge has their own manner of hearing cases and operating their court. What works in one statutory probate court in Dallas County may very well not work in another statutory probate court in Dallas County.

  • 1902 US-175, Kaufman, TX 75142
• Kaufman County Court at Law No. 2

  • 1902 US-175, Kaufman, TX 75142

The judges for both probate courts have agreed to the Kaufman County Local Court Rules, but each judge has their own manner of hearing cases and operating their court. What works in one statutory probate court in Kaufman County may very well not work in another statutory probate court in Kaufman County.
