A Court of Appeals reviews decisions from which court?

• A. The Court of Appeals
• B. The District Court
• C. The Municipal Court
• D. The Supreme Court

Answer: (B)

In Texas, the Court of Appeals serves as the intermediate appellate court that reviews decisions from the trial courts of general jurisdiction. Specifically, it reviews decisions from the District Court. It doesn’t retry the case; it looks for legal errors in how the district court applied the law, handled procedures, or protected rights, based on the trial record. If an error is found, the Court of Appeals can reverse, modify, or remand the case for further proceedings.

The Supreme Court, by contrast, reviews decisions from the Court of Appeals, not directly from district courts. Municipal Court decisions are typically appealed through other routes (often first to the county or district courts), and do not go straight to the Court of Appeals.
