22-204. Change of venue
A. If a party to an action before a justice of the peace makes an affidavit
supported by the affidavit of two other credible persons of the county that they have
good reason to believe, and do believe, that the party cannot have a fair and impartial
trial before the justice, or in such justice's precinct, the justice shall at once
request the justice of the peace of some other precinct within the county to conduct the
trial within the precinct where the action is pending, and hear all matters involved
therein, or to transfer the action to the nearest justice of the peace within the county
not subject to the same or some other disqualification. Only one such change of venue may
be had.
B. The venue may also be changed to another justice of the peace of the county upon
written consent of the parties filed in the action.
