The bill, S.B. No. 328, proposes the creation of two new judicial districts in Texas, specifically the 501st and 502nd Judicial Districts, both of which will be composed of Fort Bend County. This addition is intended to enhance the judicial system's capacity in the area, addressing the needs of the growing population and increasing caseloads. The new sections, 24.60046 and 24.60047, are added to Subchapter C, Chapter 24 of the Government Code to formalize the establishment of these districts.

The bill stipulates that the 501st and 502nd Judicial Districts will be officially created on the effective date of the Act, which is set for September 1, 2025. This legislative action reflects a proactive approach to improving judicial resources in Fort Bend County, ensuring that the legal system can adequately serve its constituents.
