Answer:

d. US Court of Appeals for Circuit Five.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to a different source, these are the options that come with this question:

a. Texas trial court.

b. Texas court of last resort.

c. U.S. District Court for Circuit Five.

d. U.S. Court of Appeals for Circuit Five.

A federal case in Texas would most likely begin in a U.S. Court of Appeals for Circuit Five. This would be a federal appellate court, which would mean that the court would have appellate jurisdiction. The rulings that such a court makes may be appealed to the Supreme Court of the United States. The Fifth Circuit hears cases in the states of Louisiana, Mississippi and Texas.
