S.B. No. 509 is a legislative bill that amends the Election Code in Texas to require notification to the attorney general prior to a hearing for a temporary restraining order related to election matters. The bill modifies the heading of Subchapter E, Chapter 273, to include "OR RESTRAINING ORDER" and introduces a new section, 273.082, which mandates that courts must notify the attorney general "as soon as practicable" before such hearings.

This bill aims to enhance oversight and ensure that the attorney general is informed of actions that could impact election processes. The provisions will take effect on September 1, 2025, allowing time for implementation and compliance with the new requirements.
