Relating to excess contributions and fees allocated to statutory probate courts.

SB 1015 would require the Texas comptroller to redistribute excess fees collected by county probate courts. If total fees paid to the judicial fund exceed amounts needed for court operations (calculated under specific sections), the comptroller must send the excess proportionally back to counties that contributed more than their share. This applies to all statutory probate courts statewide and affects counties that collect these fees. The bill would take effect September 1, 2025, for fees collected on or after that date. (Note: The bill was reported adversely by the Senate Jurisprudence Committee on April 30, 2025.)
