Relating to the jurisdiction of the 2nd Multicounty Court at Law and the composition of the juvenile boards of Bee, Live Oak, and McMullen Counties.
HB 2950 amends Texas law to clarify the jurisdiction of the 2nd Multicounty Court at Law and adjust juvenile board memberships in three counties. It expands the court's authority to share civil case jurisdiction (excluding cases exceeding $250,000) with district courts and adds the court's judge to the juvenile boards of Bee, Live Oak, and McMullen Counties. This change affects how these counties' juvenile boards operate and which courts handle certain civil cases. The bill applies only to cases filed or proceedings started on or after its effective date (September 1, 2025, unless passed by two-thirds vote for immediate effect).
