SB 963: Relating to allowing Medicaid managed care organizations to engage in marketing about the availability of certain private health benefit plan coverage.

Texas Senate Bill 963 allows Medicaid managed care organizations (MCOs) to inform Medicaid recipients about federally qualified health plans available through state or federal health insurance marketplaces. The bill amends state law to explicitly prohibit marketing guidelines from blocking MCOs from sharing this information with recipients. It directly affects Medicaid recipients, who may receive clearer information about private health plan options, and MCOs, which gain new marketing flexibility. The change takes effect September 1, 2025, and aligns with federal definitions of "exchange" and "qualified health plan" under 45 C.F.R. Section 155.20.

SB 38: Relating to the eviction from real property of certain persons not entitled to enter, occupy, or remain in possession of the premises.

SB 38 amends Texas Property Code to clarify procedures for eviction lawsuits involving tenants who lack legal right to occupy property. It specifies that justice courts must handle eviction cases in the precinct where the property is located, with limited circumstances allowing case transfers to adjacent precincts (e.g., if service delays occur or trials cannot be scheduled within 21 days). The bill prohibits courts from charging additional filing or service fees when transferring cases and explicitly states that eviction courts cannot rule on property title disputes or allow separate claims against third parties. This affects landlords and tenants involved in eviction proceedings by streamlining court processes and limiting judicial overreach.
