Jollyville Court System
Although Jollyville is its own community, it doesn’t have its own court system. All criminal charges from Jollyville — whether minor or serious — are handled through Austin.
If you’re charged with a Class A or B misdemeanor — for example, driving while intoxicated (DWI), assault, or drug possession — your case will be heard in one of Travis County’s Courts at Law, located inside the Blackwell-Thurman Criminal Justice Center.
Travis County Criminal Courts
Blackwell-Thurman Criminal Justice Center
509 W 11th St, Austin, TX 78701
Open Monday-Friday, 8:00 AM-5:00 PM
These courts are overseen by county judges and handle misdemeanor criminal cases, including jury trials, plea agreements, and pretrial motions.
If you’re facing a felony charge, such as aggravated assault, drug trafficking, burglary, or repeat DWI, your case will go before one of the Travis County District Courts, also located in the same justice center. Felony cases typically begin with a grand jury review before proceeding to arraignment, pretrial hearings, and potentially trial.
After arrest, you'll likely be taken to the Travis County Jail, which is also in downtown Austin. You’ll go through booking there, and a magistrate judge will set your bail, usually within 24 to 48 hours of arrest. If you qualify for release, your next step will be navigating the pretrial court process.
