Relating to the creation of additional judicial districts composed of Fort Bend County.
SB 328 creates two new judicial districts (the 501st and 502nd) entirely within Fort Bend County, Texas. These districts will begin operating on September 1, 2025, to manage court cases in the county. The bill directly affects Fort Bend County residents by restructuring local court administration, establishing separate judicial systems for handling cases within the county's boundaries. This is a procedural change to the state's judicial structure, with no impact on existing laws or regulations.
