Arrested in Grand Prairie (Tarrant County Side)? You Need a Local Criminal Defense Team That Knows the System.
Grand Prairie spans three counties—Dallas County, Tarrant County, and Ellis County. If your arrest or criminal citation happened on the Tarrant County side, your case will likely be sent to the Tarrant County Criminal Courts in Fort Worth. This can confuse people—but not us. At Texas Defenders, we know exactly how these cross-jurisdictional cases work and how to protect your record.
We regularly defend clients from the Tarrant County portion of Grand Prairie, whether the case starts with a citation from Grand Prairie PD or an arrest that ends in the Tarrant County Jail.
