Which statement about the Office of Court Administration's relationship to the Supreme Court is correct?

• A. OCA is supervised by the Governor.
• B. OCA is supervised by the Supreme Court.
• C. OCA is a private nonprofit.
• D. OCA reports to the Texas Judicial Council.

Answer: (B)

The main idea is how the judiciary is overseen and run. In Texas, the Office of Court Administration (OCA) functions as the administrative arm of the judiciary and is overseen by the Supreme Court. This arrangement keeps the administration of the courts aligned with the Supreme Court’s policies and decisions, ensuring consistent rules, procedures, and support across all courts. It isn’t run by the Governor, it isn’t a private nonprofit, and it doesn’t report to the Texas Judicial Council. The Supreme Court provides the supervision and direction for the OCA, which is why this statement is correct.
