Relating to the duties of the district attorney for the 70th Judicial District.
HB 1707 repeals Section 43.137(d) of the Texas Government Code, which previously outlined specific duties for the district attorney in the 70th Judicial District. This change only affects legal proceedings filed on or after September 1, 2025; cases started before that date will continue to follow the existing law. The bill removes a specific requirement from the district attorney's responsibilities for future cases in this district. It does not create new duties or alter current legal procedures for ongoing cases. The repeal is procedural and applies solely to new proceedings beginning after the effective date.
