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 within the county by providing more localized courts to handle legal matters more efficiently. The new sections, 24.60046 and 24.60047, are added to Subchapter C, Chapter 24 of the Government Code, establishing the framework for 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 aims to address the growing needs of Fort Bend County's judicial system by increasing the number of available courts to better serve the community.
