Relating to the creation of an additional judicial district in Ellis County.

SB 1397 creates the 504th Judicial District, designated to cover all of Ellis County, Texas. This new district would replace or establish a dedicated judicial system for the county, with the district taking effect immediately upon passage with a two-thirds vote in both chambers, or on September 1, 2025, if not. The bill defines the district's boundaries and administrative structure without altering existing county court functions or introducing new policies.
