Relating to the composition and duties of a court security committee.
SB 1221 requires local administrative judges in Texas counties to establish a court security committee. The committee must include the judge (or designee), a sheriff's representative, constable office representatives, a county commissioners court member, judges from non-municipal courts, a justice of the peace, and a county attorney or district attorney representative. Its purpose is to adopt security policies and procedures for county courts. The bill creates the committee structure but does not specify security measures or policies. It affects county court operations by mandating this specific governance framework.
