HB 4645 Texas House · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to the creation of the office of district attorney for the 365th Judicial District and the duties of the district attorney for the 293rd Judicial District.

HB 4645 creates a new office for the district attorney of the 365th Judicial District, specifically for Maverick County. This new district attorney will handle all civil and criminal cases in Maverick County's district court and also represent the state in cases arising in the 293rd Judicial District (which covers Dimmit and Zavala Counties) when those cases occur within Maverick County. The bill amends the Government Code to establish this office, effective September 1, 2025, and clarifies the duties of the existing 293rd District attorney regarding cases in Maverick County. It directly affects Maverick County residents and the jurisdictional overlap between the two judicial districts.
