Relating to a state of the judiciary message delivered by the presiding judge of the court of criminal appeals.

HB 2897 requires the chief justice of the Texas Supreme Court and the presiding judge of the Court of Criminal Appeals to deliver an annual written or oral "state of the judiciary" message at the start of each legislative session. The message must evaluate court accessibility for citizens and outline future court needs, aiming to improve communication between Texas's legislative and judicial branches. This procedural bill affects only the two judicial officers named and modifies existing law without changing court operations.
