Relating to the jurisdiction of the county courts at law in Hidalgo County.

HB 102 expands the authority of county courts at law in Hidalgo County by granting them concurrent jurisdiction with district courts in family law cases, civil cases, and certain criminal cases (specifically state jail felonies where the alleged damages don't exceed $750,000). This change directly affects residents of Hidalgo County who file or are involved in these types of cases after the law takes effect. The bill modifies existing law to allow county courts to handle these matters alongside district courts, but only for cases filed on or after the effective date (91 days after the legislative session ends). Cases filed before this date remain governed by the previous jurisdictional rules.
