Misdemeanor DWI starts with a magistrate appearance and bond after arrest; the county-level court then sets the first docket (arraignment or announcement) and gives notice or lists it on your bond paperwork. The court does not publish a general arraignment calendar here; call the county clerk at (903) 590-4670 for your setting.

Misdemeanor DWI (Class B, or Class A for a second offense or a blood alcohol concentration of 0.15 or higher) is heard by the county-level court. Felony DWI is tried in the district court. Justice and municipal courts do not try DWI: they act as magistrates at the first appearance and hear only Class C matters, such as DUI by a minor. Where the county has created a county court at law or county criminal court, DWI cases are normally assigned there instead of the constitutional county court. Check the court named on your charging paperwork or bond conditions, and confirm the courthouse address and appearance instructions with the clerk before travelling.
