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

HB 3718 clarifies which cases Wichita County courts at law can handle. It requires county courts to take all misdemeanor cases, probate matters, mental health proceedings, and municipal court appeals. The bill gives county courts concurrent authority with district courts for family law cases and civil cases under $200,000 (excluding certain fees), but excludes cases under the Alcoholic Beverage Code, Election Code, or Tax Code. County courts may transfer civil cases exceeding $200,000 to district court, though cases already filed before the law's effective date (September 1, 2025) follow prior rules.
