The bill, introduced by Senator Huffman, proposes the creation of two new judicial districts in Texas, specifically the 501st and 502nd Judicial Districts, both of which will be composed of Fort Bend County. This addition is intended to enhance the judicial system's capacity in the region, addressing the needs of the growing population and increasing caseloads.

To implement this change, the bill amends Subchapter C of Chapter 24 of the Government Code by adding Sections 24.60046 and 24.60047, which formally establish the new judicial districts. The bill stipulates that these districts will be created on the effective date of the Act, which is set to take effect 91 days after the conclusion of the legislative session.
