Court’s Jurisdiction Drawing a distinction between the district court’s appellate jurisdiction and general supervisory control, Respondent asserts that his order is all that is required to invoke the district court’s general supervisory power over the Commissioners Court. The Commissioners Court, on the other hand, maintains that a lawsuit or some type of independent equitable action must be filed in the district court in order to invoke the court’s jurisdiction under Article V, Section 8 and Section 24.020. We agree with the Commissioners Court. It has long been the law in Texas that a direct equitable action must be filed in the district court in order to invoke that court’s jurisdiction to exercise supervisory control of the commissioners court. See, e.g., Scott, 292 S.W.2d at 328 (<HOLDING>); Hooten v. Enriquez, 863 S.W.2d 522, 528 n. 7
