Short answer: where is a Fort Bend County criminal case heard?
If Fort Bend County filed the charge, you go to the Fort Bend County Justice Center in Richmond. Sugar Land is the search town. It is not the felony courthouse.
Who we are: Sam R. Cammack III is lead trial counsel, licensed in Texas on December 5, 2002 (Bar No. 24014415). Holly A. Quinterro schedules Fort Bend settings and talks to families in English and Spanish. The office is at 1001 West Loop South, Suite 700. Firm Google reviews (4.9 across 117) sit on the homepage. They are firm reviews, not Fort Bend-only reviews.
The courthouse is in Richmond. The case is in Fort Bend County.
Richmond is the county seat. Criminal district courts and county courts at law for Fort Bend sit at the Justice Center there. Sugar Land is larger in the public mind. US 59 and Highway 6 are the usual drives. Do not confuse the commercial center with the Justice Center.
Address: 1422 Eugene Heimann Circle, Richmond, TX 77469. That is the Justice Center, not the mailing address on Jackson Street. Open maps for directions to the Justice Center.

Criminal defense in Sugar Land, Richmond, Missouri City, Stafford, and Rosenberg
An arrest in one of these cities is still a Fort Bend County case when Fort Bend County files it. The courthouse does not move to Sugar Land.
Sugar Land
Sugar Land is the search magnet. Greatwood and New Territory now sit inside Sugar Land. Sienna is in this county's unincorporated map. If Fort Bend filed the case, you are going to Richmond.
Richmond
Richmond is the seat. A Richmond criminal attorney search is looking for the Justice Center town. Live here or not, a Fort Bend filing is a Richmond setting.
Missouri City and Stafford
Both sit on the Harris line. Fort Bend filings go to Richmond. Harris filings go to 1201 Franklin.
Rosenberg
Rosenberg is west Fort Bend, next to Richmond. A Rosenberg criminal attorney search is still a Richmond setting when Fort Bend filed the case. The two towns sit close on the map. They are not two felony courthouses.
Katy, Fulshear, and Needville
Katy crosses Harris, Fort Bend, and Waller. Fulshear and Needville sit in Fort Bend. If the paper says Fort Bend, this is the page. If it says Harris, use the Harris page.
Also named here: Meadows Place, Sienna, and the Fort Bend portion of Houston and Pearland. Pearland's main county page is still Brazoria when Brazoria filed the case.
Charges we defend in Fort Bend County

A charge is heard where it is filed, not where you sleep.

- Missouri City and Stafford: Fort Bend and Harris.
- Pearland: Brazoria, Harris, and Fort Bend.
- Houston can spill into Fort Bend. The complaint still controls.
If the paper says Fort Bend County, start here. Do not assume Sugar Land means Richmond or that a Katy address means Fort Bend.
