SB 2341 Texas Senate · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to the establishment of a grant program to provide financial assistance to counties for transportation assistance to indigent litigants.

SB 2341 creates a state grant program administered by Texas' comptroller to help counties cover transportation costs for indigent litigants - people in legal cases who cannot afford court-related travel. Counties can apply annually for funds to pay for transportation to and from court for individuals in civil, criminal, or juvenile cases, including those with custody of such people. The program requires counties to use grant money exclusively for this purpose, with the comptroller establishing application rules, deadlines, and monitoring procedures. The program begins accepting applications on January 1, 2026, and takes effect September 1, 2025.
