Relating to a prohibition on the practice of law in certain courts by a county commissioner or a county judge.

HB 4260 prohibits county commissioners, county judges, and county clerks who are licensed attorneys from practicing law in certain courts. Specifically, it bans county commissioners from representing clients in any appellate, district, county, or justice court with jurisdiction in their county. County judges cannot practice in their own county court or other courts where their court has jurisdiction, and county clerks cannot practice in higher courts or courts where their office has jurisdiction. The law applies only to cases filed on or after September 1, 2025, and repeals related provisions in the Local Government Code.
