In most states, the state high court sits primarily in the capital city.  California is the oddball (so what else is new?) with its Supreme Court headquartered in San Francisco.  The dual high courts of Texas and Oklahoma follow the usual pattern.

Courts occasionally hear arguments outside their usual place, though, to give more citizens a look at how they work.  Thursday, the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals will go west -- as far west as you can go and still be in Texas -- holding arguments at the University of Texas - El Paso.  An announcement is on the court's website.

Neither of the cases is from West Texas.  The capital case is that of a man who shot three people in a grocery store parking lot in Fort Bend, killing two of them.  Briefs in the case are here.
