HB 2360 Texas House · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to the jurisdiction of a county court at law in Potter County.

HB 2360 modifies Texas law to grant Potter County Court at Law No. 1 concurrent jurisdiction with district courts in felony cases for specific procedural steps: arraignments, pretrial hearings, and accepting pleas in uncontested matters. This change directly affects felony case processing in Potter County by allowing its county court to handle these stages alongside district courts, rather than requiring all such matters to go to district court. The bill does not alter criminal penalties or create new legal standards - it adjusts jurisdictional authority to streamline certain pretrial procedures. The change applies only to Potter County and takes effect September 1, 2025.
