An original suit involving a child can be filed in Dallas County if the child in question resides within the county. However, if another court has continuing exclusive jurisdiction over the case, it may not be filed in Dallas County. For divorce cases with children, the suit may be filed in the Dallas County district court where one of the parties has lived for at least 90 days prior to filing the divorce.
