The bill, H.B. No. 1428, proposes changes to the jurisdiction of statutory probate courts specifically in Montgomery County, Texas. It includes the repeal of Section 25.1723(c) of the Government Code, which indicates a significant alteration in the legal framework governing these courts.

Additionally, the bill stipulates that the changes will only apply to actions filed on or after the effective date of the Act, which is set for September 1, 2025. Actions filed prior to this date will continue to be governed by the existing law, ensuring a smooth transition and legal continuity for cases initiated before the new provisions take effect.
