Relating to excess contributions and fees allocated to statutory probate courts.
This Texas bill establishes a process to redistribute excess funds collected by county probate courts. If a county deposits more into the judicial fund than its allocated share under current law, the state comptroller must return the overpayment proportionally to that county. The funds come from fees paid to statutory probate courts, including electronic filing fees and other court collections. Counties affected are those that contributed more than their entitled share under existing funding formulas. The redistribution applies automatically to all counties meeting the criteria, ensuring no county pays more than its fair share.
