The bill proposes the creation of a new judicial district, specifically the 490th Judicial District, which will be composed of Brazoria County. This addition is intended to enhance the judicial system within the region by providing a dedicated district to address legal matters arising in Brazoria County.
The bill amends the Government Code by adding a new section, 24.60035, which formally establishes the 490th Judicial District. The new district will come into effect on September 1, 2026, marking a significant change in the judicial landscape of Texas as it aims to improve the efficiency and accessibility of legal proceedings in the area.
