The bill proposes the creation of a new judicial district, designated as the 503rd Judicial District, which will encompass Rockwall County. This addition is intended to enhance the judicial system within the region by providing a dedicated court for the county's legal matters. The new district is established by amending Subchapter C, Chapter 24 of the Government Code, specifically by adding Section 24.60048, which formally recognizes the 503rd Judicial District.

The bill stipulates that the 503rd Judicial District will come into existence on the effective date of the Act. It also outlines that the Act will take effect immediately if it secures a two-thirds majority vote from all elected members in both houses of the legislature; otherwise, it will take effect on September 1, 2025.
