Where to File a Suit

In the event that a tenant does not vacate the premises by the specified date, the plaintiff or landlord may then initiate a judicial action against the tenant by filing a Complaint for Forcible Detainer.  The complaint must be filed in the precinct where the property relating to the eviction is located. 

You can find the appropriate Justice of the Peace precinct (if you have a valid street address) by using the Jurisdiction Finder. Although the Jurisdiction Finder primarily delivers sample ballots and places to vote, it will also list various jurisdictions for an address.
