Hunt County Criminal Defense Services

Hunt County criminal-justice infrastructure

Hunt County sits on the northeastern edge of the Dallas–Fort Worth region, covering roughly 840 square miles of North Texas farmland and small cities. The 2020 census counted 99,956 residents, and Census estimates put the 2025 figure closer to 123,000. The county seat and largest city is Greenville — population about 28,164 — where the Hunt County Courthouse at 2507 Lee Street holds the criminal-court divisions. The next-largest community is Commerce (roughly 9,090 residents), home to East Texas A&M University, the regional public university formerly known as Texas A&M University–Commerce; smaller incorporated cities include Caddo Mills and Quinlan. Median household income across the county runs near $71,938.

Felony charges from a Hunt County arrest are prosecuted by the Hunt County District Attorney’s Office and filed in one of the county’s two district courts — the 196th and the 354th — each of which carries original felony jurisdiction. The Class A and Class B misdemeanors that fill most of the docket, DWI and assault and theft and drug possession among them, are heard in County Court at Law No. 1 and County Court at Law No. 2. The separate Hunt County Attorney’s Office handles other misdemeanor categories, while Class C fine-only citations stay in the justice-of-the-peace and municipal courts. A matter that becomes a federal case proceeds in the applicable U.S. district court rather than the Greenville courthouse.

Why retain L and L Law Group for a Hunt County matter

Three operational reasons. First, direct attorney access: every retained matter is handled by Reggie or Njeri London personally — no intake clerk, no junior associate handoff. The partner who takes the consultation is the partner who appears at every hearing. Second, flat-fee structure: engagement fees are quoted in writing at the free initial consult and cover the entire defense through final disposition or trial in chief. Hourly billing in criminal defense creates the wrong incentives because the State controls the case pace. Third, dual prosecutor-and-defense perspective: Reggie’s prior service as a Dallas County Assistant District Attorney informs the firm’s reading of probable-cause affidavits, plea-evaluation thresholds, and trial-preparation escalation. Njeri’s federal admissions (TXND, TXED, 5th Circuit) and motion-practice depth complete the framework.

The firm is in Frisco; Hunt County is in our default coverage area. Office at 5899 Preston Rd, Suite 101, Frisco, TX 75034. Phone (972) 370-5060 24/7. Email info@landllawgroup.com.

Inside the Hunt County criminal-justice system

Hunt County keeps its criminal courts in one place: the Hunt County Courthouse at 2507 Lee Street in Greenville, 75401, with the district courtrooms on the third floor and the District Attorney’s Office on the fourth. The district clerk and the two county courts at law share the same building, and the Hunt County Detention Center stands a short distance away at 2801 Stuart Street. Two district courts — the 196th and the 354th — carry the felony docket; County Court at Law No. 1 and County Court at Law No. 2 take the Class A and Class B misdemeanors, first- and second-offense DWI included. The District Attorney’s Office prosecutes the felonies and the contested misdemeanors, while the separate Hunt County Attorney’s Office handles other misdemeanor categories. Because everything funnels through Greenville, a resident of Commerce, Caddo Mills, Quinlan, or an unincorporated stretch of the county still answers the charge downtown unless venue is moved under Texas Code of Criminal Procedure Chapter 31.

Geography, transportation, and policing

Hunt County spreads across roughly 840 square miles of farmland and small cities — Greenville, Commerce, Caddo Mills, and Quinlan among the incorporated communities — with the balance in unincorporated areas patrolled by the Hunt County Sheriff’s Office. Interstate 30 runs east–west straight through Greenville and is the county’s busiest corridor; U.S. Highways 69, 380, and 67 and state highways such as SH-34, SH-24, and SH-11 carry the rest of the through traffic. Those roads — I-30 above all — generate much of the county’s DWI and drug-interdiction caseload for the Sheriff’s Office and the Texas Department of Public Safety. Inside the city limits, the Greenville Police Department and the Commerce Police Department make most municipal arrests, while the Sheriff’s Office covers the unincorporated areas and smaller communities like Caddo Mills and Quinlan, serves county-wide warrants, and operates the jail. Booking happens at the Hunt County Detention Center, 2801 Stuart Street in Greenville, and bond is posted there or through a licensed bonding company near the courthouse.

Why local defense practice matters in Hunt County

No two Texas counties run their criminal dockets quite the same way, and Hunt County is no exception. Each Greenville court keeps its own scheduling rhythm, and the District Attorney’s Office sets its own thresholds for plea offers, diversion, and trial readiness across DWI, narcotics, family-violence, and property-crime cases. A lawyer who appears often in the 196th and 354th District Courts and in the two county courts at law learns the practical texture of the place — how a given court weighs a motion to suppress, when the State will consider deferred adjudication on a first offense, how quickly a bond-reduction motion actually reaches a hearing. That local read on Greenville practice, rather than any generic playbook, is what tailors a defense to the county where the case is filed.

L and L Law Group appears in Hunt County’s criminal courts on felony and misdemeanor matters alike. Co-founding partners Reggie London (Texas Bar No. 24043514) and Njeri London (Texas Bar No. 24043266) handle those cases personally, with regular volume in DWI, drug-possession, theft, assault, weapons, and family-violence matters in Greenville. Many Hunt County clients have local roots that shape a sentencing or diversion argument — steady work with a Greenville-area employer, a job or enrollment at East Texas A&M University in Commerce, family obligations spread across the county — and those facts frequently carry real weight in mitigation before the court.

The incorporated cities that anchor Hunt County each route their criminal cases to the same Greenville courthouse. Greenville itself, with about 28,164 residents, is the county seat and the largest city; Commerce, roughly 9,090 residents, is home to East Texas A&M University, the regional public university formerly called Texas A&M University–Commerce; and the smaller cities of Caddo Mills and Quinlan add close to 1,495 and 1,414 residents respectively. Wherever an arrest happens in the county, the accused is booked into the Hunt County Detention Center on Stuart Street, brought before a magistrate within 48 hours, and — once the case is filed — answers it downtown in one of the district courts or county courts at law. Because the county blends a college town, several small cities, and a large rural footprint of roughly 840 square miles, its docket runs from campus-area offenses and Interstate 30 DWIs to rural drug and property cases, and all of them converge on the same handful of courtrooms and the same District Attorney’s Office. A defendant who lives in Commerce or Caddo Mills does not answer the charge locally; the case moves to Greenville, and so does every hearing on it. Understanding how the Greenville courts and the county prosecutor actually operate — their settings, their plea postures, their bond practices — is much of what a local defense brings to a Hunt County matter.
