General District Court Jurisdiction

Summary

General District Courts handle eviction cases, including unlawful detainer matters. Injunctive relief can be granted for health and safety concerns, even without a guilty verdict. If a court lacks jurisdiction, any orders issued may be considered void and can be challenged. Filing a motion to vacate a void order is a potential step. Document all violations and consider using self-help resources for guidance on drafting motions.
