HB 2661 Texas House · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to the jurisdiction and operation of the County Court at Law in Atascosa County.

HB 2661 modifies jurisdiction rules for Atascosa County Court at Law in Texas. It grants the court concurrent authority with district courts over family law, juvenile matters, probate cases, and certain civil cases exceeding $1 million in value (excluding specific damages). The bill also establishes a new provision allowing county court judges to be temporarily assigned to district court cases within Atascosa County. This applies only to cases filed after the bill's effective date (September 1, 2025, unless passed with a two-thirds vote). The legislation directly affects Atascosa County residents, courts, and legal proceedings handled in that jurisdiction.
