Is the following statement true: Municipal courts of record automatically have concurrent jurisdiction with district and county courts for enforcing junked vehicle ordinances?

• A. Not specified
• B. Depends
• C. False
• D. True

Answer: (C)

Understanding how jurisdiction works for enforcing junked-vehicle ordinances helps clarify this. Municipal courts handle violations of city ordinances within their jurisdiction, including junked-vehicle rules, as the primary forum for such enforcement. They do not automatically share that authority with district or county courts. The only time a different court becomes involved is if the case is appealed (often yielding a de novo review in a county or district court) or if the city tries to pursue a separate civil nuisance action under state law. In short, concurrent jurisdiction is not automatic; statutes and procedures determine when other courts may hear related aspects, not a blanket sharing of authority. This statement is not correct.
