Venue means the proper court to hear a matter.
Venue is generally based on facts and circumstances giving rise to the case occurring in the geographical area where the court sits. For example, if a landlord wants to sue a tenant for eviction (or the tenant to sue the landlord for not keeping the rental property in a safe manner), the venue will usually be a justice of the peace court that handles matters where the rental property is located.
