The bill proposes amendments to the Government Code regarding the district attorney positions in Texas. It specifically modifies Section 43.101 to clarify that the voters of San Augustine County will elect a district attorney for the 1st Judicial District, removing the reference to Sabine County. Additionally, it introduces a new Section 43.1742, establishing the office of district attorney for the newly created 273rd Judicial District, which will be elected by the voters of Sabine County. This new office will represent the state in the district courts of that county.

Furthermore, the bill amends Section 46.002 to include the 273rd Judicial District among the list of districts whose district attorneys are subject to the chapter's regulations. The creation of the 273rd Judicial District's office will take effect on January 1, 2029, and will be in place for the primary and general elections in 2028. This legislation aims to enhance the legal framework governing district attorneys in Texas by ensuring representation in the newly established judicial district.
