​McKinney, Texas — The Collin County District Courts continue to demonstrate statewide leadership in efficiency, productivity, and service to residents, as reflected in annual performance statistics.

Despite rapid population growth and rising case filings, Collin County’s District Courts resolve cases efficiently, while managing larger caseloads per judge than most major Texas counties — all without the use of numerous associate judges, a resource many jurisdictions rely upon to meet increasing demand.

Record Caseload Management and Efficiency

In 2025, Collin County’s District Courts disposed of 31,750 cases, reflecting a 27.5% increase in filings over the past three years. Even with this significant growth, Collin County’s District Courts increased total case dispositions by 10% over the previous year.

These numbers reflect more than efficiency — they represent families receiving timely resolutions, victims seeing cases move forward, businesses resolving disputes, and children finding stability.

Timely Access to Justice

According to performance metrics tracked by the Texas Office of Court Administration, Collin County District Courts dispose of cases at the fastest rate in Texas.

On average, a case filed in Collin County is completed in 5 months and 6 days.  For citizens, that means less waiting, lower costs, and greater certainty during some of life’s most difficult moments.

Dedicated Judges Serving a Growing County

Each Collin County District Judge serves approximately 84,000 residents, one of the highest citizen-to-judge ratios in the state. Despite this workload, the District Courts conducted 157 jury trials last year, a more than 3% increase.

Importantly, these results are achieved through the work of Collin County’s elected District Judges and their professional staff — demonstrating strong stewardship of taxpayer resources while maintaining high performance.

Service to the County and Community

Collin County District Courts handle a full spectrum of case types, including criminal, civil, family, and juvenile matters. Beyond courtroom proceedings, Collin County District Judges oversee essential county departments and programs, including probation, juvenile services, auxiliary court, and specialty court programs serving vulnerable and high risk populations –including veterans, individuals with mental health needs, parents battling substance abuse, and trafficked youth.

In addition to their judicial duties, Collin County’s District Judges regularly host civic groups, students, faith-based organizations, mock trial teams, scouts, service leagues, and homeschool groups to promote transparency and public understanding of the justice system.

​Commitment to Public Trust  

The District Courts recognize that public trust is earned every day — through preparation, impartiality, efficiency, and respect for all who come before the bench.
