Relating to the amount in controversy in the jurisdiction of statutory county courts.

HB 5078 raises the threshold for statutory county courts to handle civil cases from $250,000 to $325,000 in value. This affects individuals and businesses involved in civil disputes (like contract or property claims) where the claimed value falls within this range. The bill modifies court jurisdiction rules, requiring the Texas Supreme Court to create efficiency-focused procedures for these cases and clarifying that county courts handle cases up to $325,000 (excluding certain damages), while district courts handle higher-value disputes. The changes apply only to cases filed on or after September 1, 2025.
