# CheckTx
CheckTx is called by the `BaseApp` when comet receives a transaction from a client, over the p2p network or RPC. The CheckTx method is responsible for validating the transaction and returning an error if the transaction is invalid.

```
## CheckTx Handler
`CheckTxHandler` allows users to extend the logic of `CheckTx`. `CheckTxHandler` is called by pasding context and the transaction bytes received through ABCI. It is required that the handler returns deterministic results given the same transaction bytes.
:::note
we return the raw decoded transaction here to avoid decoding it twice.

```go
type CheckTxHandler func(ctx sdk.Context, tx []byte) (Tx, error)
```
Setting a custom `CheckTxHandler` is optional. It can be done from your app.go file:
```go
func NewSimApp(
logger log.Logger,
db corestore.KVStoreWithBatch,
traceStore io.Writer,
loadLatest bool,
appOpts servertypes.AppOptions,
baseAppOptions ...func(*baseapp.BaseApp),
) *SimApp {
...
// Create ChecktxHandler
checktxHandler := abci.NewCustomCheckTxHandler(...)
app.SetCheckTxHandler(checktxHandler)
...
}
```
