HB 3104 Texas House · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to the appointment and compensation of a bailiff appointed by the judges of certain district courts in Webb County.

HB 3104 requires judges of specific district courts in Webb County (30th, 70th, 71st, 78th, 89th, and 161st districts, plus Taylor County district and county courts) to appoint bailiffs. It repeals existing compensation provisions (Sections 53.001(i) and 53.009(d) of the Government Code) but preserves current pay arrangements for bailiffs already serving in the 341st and 406th district courts before the law’s effective date. These existing bailiffs will continue receiving Webb County compensation and eligibility for cost-of-living increases as before. The bill takes effect September 1, 2025, and directly affects Webb County court operations and bailiff staffing requirements.
