The bill proposes the creation of a new judicial district, designated as the 490th Judicial District, which will encompass Brazoria County. This addition is intended to enhance the judicial system within the region by providing a dedicated district to address legal matters specific to the county.
The bill amends the Government Code by adding Section 24.60035, which formally establishes the 490th Judicial District. The new district will come into effect on September 1, 2026, thereby allowing for the necessary preparations and adjustments to be made prior to its implementation.
