Relating to the jurisdiction of statutory county courts and creation of an additional statutory probate court in Hidalgo County.

SB 32 creates a second probate court in Hidalgo County, redesignating the existing probate court as Probate Court No. 1 and establishing a new Probate Court No. 2. This directly affects Hidalgo County residents who use probate courts for estate matters like wills, inheritances, and guardianships. The bill takes effect September 1, 2025, pending legislative approval, and modifies the county’s court structure without changing other court jurisdictions.
