Relating to the creation of an additional county court at law and an additional statutory probate court in Hidalgo County.

SB 2135 creates a new County Court at Law No. 11 in Hidalgo County, effective January 1, 2027, and establishes a second statutory probate court (Probate Court No. 2), effective January 1, 2026. The bill redesignates the existing probate court as Probate Court No. 1.

The bill amends the Texas Government Code to expand court capacity in Hidalgo County, which has experienced population growth.
