Civil litigation has grown at a healthy rate in the Dallas-Fort Worth district courts in the past five years.

Dallas County district courts saw a 25% increase in civil litigation from 2015 to 2019, while Tarrant County district courts saw a 28% gain, according to statistics from the Texas Office of Court Administration.

Civil district judges are seeing the rise, according to 14th District Judge Eric Moyé, who serves as the local civil administrative judge in Dallas County. He said he's unsure of the reason but feels that population growth can't fully explain it.
