Bill > SB1607

This bill creates a new judicial district, specifically the 511th Judicial District, which will be composed entirely of Comal County in Texas. The bill adds a new section (24.60053) to the Texas Government Code to establish this district, which will officially come into existence on the effective date specified in the legislation. By creating this dedicated judicial district, the bill aims to provide a specific court system tailored to the legal needs of Comal County. The new district will become operational on January 1, 2026, giving local authorities time to prepare for its implementation. This type of legislation is common when a county's population growth or judicial workload requires a specialized court to more efficiently handle legal proceedings and reduce case backlogs in the existing court system.
