Relating to the compensation paid to certain court administrative staff.

HB 1036 amends Texas law to change how compensation is set for specific court administrative staff, including court coordinators and court administrators. It requires county judges to determine reasonable pay for these roles, subject to approval by the county commissioners court, while clarifying that commissioners court sets salary ranges for these positions in the annual budget. The bill also specifies that county funds must cover these costs through the regular budget process, with possible supplemental funding from grants. This applies directly to court staff in Texas counties and takes effect September 1, 2025.
