Bill > HB3409

This bill makes changes to the judicial districts in Texas, specifically modifying the responsibilities of the 1st Judicial District's district attorney and creating a new district attorney position for the 273rd Judicial District. For the 1st Judicial District, the bill removes Sabine County from the district, leaving only San Augustine County, and clarifies that the district attorney will represent the state in district courts within San Augustine County. The bill establishes a new district attorney position for Sabine County, creating the 273rd Judicial District, where voters will elect a district attorney to represent the state in district courts within Sabine County. Additionally, the bill updates the list of judicial districts in Section 46.002 of the Government Code to include the new 273rd Judicial District. The new office of district attorney for the 273rd Judicial District will be officially created on the bill's effective date and will exist for primary and general elections in 2028, with the full implementation taking effect on January 1, 2029.
