Judge Bias Appeal Process

Summary

In Texas, if you believe a Justice of the Peace showed bias, you can appeal within 21 days. If the deadline is missed, file a motion for an extension. Without transcripts, submit a sworn statement detailing errors. You can also request a different judge by filing a Motion to Recuse. If you prefer not to deal with the Justice of the Peace office, contact the County Court at Law for appeals. For Red River County, reach out to the County Court at Law at (903) 427-2271.
