H.B. No. 3104 amends the Government Code to modify the appointment and compensation of bailiffs in certain district courts in Webb County. Specifically, it allows the judges of the 30th, 70th, 71st, 78th, 89th, and 161st district courts to appoint a bailiff, while removing the judges of the 341st district court from this provision. Additionally, Sections 53.001(i) and 53.009(d) are repealed, streamlining the legal framework surrounding bailiff appointments.

The bill also stipulates that the changes do not affect any bailiff appointed by the judges of the 341st or 406th district courts prior to the bill's effective date of September 1, 2025. These bailiffs will continue to serve and receive compensation as they did before, including eligibility for longevity or cost-of-living salary increases. This ensures that existing bailiffs are not adversely impacted by the new legislation.
