Relating to the jurisdiction of the Texas Supreme Court and the Court of Criminal Appeals.

HB 933 amends Texas law to clarify that the Texas Supreme Court has jurisdiction in specific criminal cases involving conflicts between courts, as defined by Section 22.001(a-1) of the Government Code. This change directly affects the Texas Supreme Court and the Court of Criminal Appeals by establishing when the Supreme Court may review criminal matters. The bill adjusts Article 4.01 of the Code of Criminal Procedure to explicitly include the Supreme Court in the list of courts with criminal jurisdiction under these conflict circumstances. It does not alter the Court of Criminal Appeals' primary role in handling death penalty appeals or most criminal appeals.
