Bill > SB1880

This bill creates a new judicial district in Williamson County, Texas, specifically establishing the 512th Judicial District. The bill amends the Government Code by adding a new section that defines the geographical boundaries of this district as coterminous with Williamson County. The new judicial district will be officially created on the effective date of the Act, which is set for September 1, 2025. This type of legislative action is typically done to help manage increasing case loads by creating additional court jurisdictions in counties experiencing population growth or complex legal needs. The bill does not specify details about staffing or jurisdiction of the new district beyond its geographical definition, leaving those specifics likely to be determined by existing judicial administrative procedures.
