The Ninth Court of Appeals sits in Beaumont and covers Hardin, Jasper, Jefferson, Liberty, Montgomery, Newton, Orange, Polk, San Jacinto, and Tyler counties.

After a court of appeals decision, either party can file a Petition for Discretionary Review (PDR) asking the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals to reconsider the outcome. The CCA grants about 6.5% of PDRs from Ninth Court decisions—but when it takes a case, rules against the lower court in only about half of them, meaning it agrees with the Ninth Court more often than with most Texas courts of appeals. Montgomery County, one of the fastest-growing counties in Texas, anchors the northern end of this district.
