This bill proposes amendments to the Government Code regarding the district attorney positions for the 1st and newly established 273rd Judicial Districts in Texas. It specifies that the voters of Sabine County will elect a district attorney for the 273rd Judicial District, who will represent the state in the district courts of that county. Additionally, the bill modifies the existing language concerning the 1st Judicial District by removing references to San Augustine County and clarifying that the district attorney represents the state in the district courts of that county.

Furthermore, the bill adds the 273rd Judicial District to the list of districts whose prosecutors are subject to certain regulations outlined in Chapter 46 of the Government Code. The creation of the office of district attorney for the 273rd Judicial District will take effect on January 1, 2029, and will be in place for the primary and general elections in 2028. This legislative change aims to enhance the legal framework governing district attorneys in Texas, ensuring representation for the newly established district.
