Certification, Jurisdiction, & Venue Login/Join

I accepted a case from another county based on the venue statute (51.06(a)(2)(c)). Although I'm sure the county from which I accepted this case would have kept it had they thought certification was appropriate, I am nonetheless interested in possibly certifying this juvenile.

Based on my reading of the various statutes, I think I can file the certification petition in my county. My question is whether if certification is granted, would the case have to be transferred back to the original county, as it seems that would be the only "appropriate" court for adult jurisdiction purposes?

Any and all input would be greatly appreciated!

I see you got loads of responses to your query!

I would think that jurisdiction would have to be in the county where it occurred, so you would file a waiver and transfer order together. But I guess this doesn't apply to you anymore!

Yeah, that's W.W.'s case now. I'll shoot you an e-mail when I get e-mail here at my new shop.
