SB 27 Texas Senate · 89th Legislature, 1st Called Session (2025)

Relating to the jurisdiction of the 2nd Multicounty Court at Law and the composition of the juvenile boards of Bee, Live Oak, and McMullen Counties.

SB 27 amends Texas law to clarify the jurisdiction of the 2nd Multicounty Court at Law and update juvenile board compositions in Bee, Live Oak, and McMullen Counties. It adds the judge of the 2nd Multicounty Court at Law to each county’s juvenile board (replacing "and" with a comma in the composition language). The bill changes the court’s civil jurisdiction to share authority with district courts (excluding cases exceeding $25,000), but only for cases filed after the law’s effective date. Pre-existing cases remain governed by prior law. The bill takes effect 91 days after the legislative session ends.
