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 judicial resources and improving access to legal proceedings for residents.

To implement this change, the bill amends Subchapter C, Chapter 24 of the Government Code by adding Sections 24.60046 and 24.60047, which formally establish the 501st and 502nd Judicial Districts. The new districts will come into effect on September 1, 2025, thereby allowing for the necessary preparations and adjustments to be made within the judicial system prior to their establishment.
