Relating to the jurisdiction of statutory probate courts in Montgomery County.
HB 1428 repeals a specific provision (Section 25.1723(c)) of the Texas Government Code that governed jurisdiction rules for statutory probate courts in Montgomery County. This change removes an existing legal rule about which probate cases these courts can handle. The repeal only applies to cases filed on or after September 1, 2025; cases filed before that date will continue to follow the previous law. The bill directly affects Montgomery County probate courts and individuals filing new probate cases there after the effective date.
