The Judicial Branch of Tabasco (Poder Judicial) comprises the Superior Court of Justice (Tribunal Superior de Justicia), the Judicial Council (Consejo de la Judicatura) and specialized chambers. The state is divided into judicial districts with courts of first instance for civil, commercial, family and criminal matters, in addition to the structure of the accusatorial system, concentrated in Villahermosa (Centro) and in county seats such as Cárdenas and Comalcalco. Los asuntos federales se ventilan por separado ante juzgados de distrito.

Tabasco maintains its own Civil Code and Code of Civil Procedure. Its strong oil and energy activity (Pemex, the Dos Bocas refinery) shapes labor, contractual and environmental litigation, while its geography of rivers and wetlands generates agrarian and riparian property matters.

The accusatorial and oral criminal justice system has been fully operational since 2016, and oral commercial trials are conducted under the Commercial Code (Código de Comercio).
