Relating to the compensation of a district judge and the associated retirement benefits of certain other elected state officials.
HB 4080 adjusts salary structures for Texas judicial positions and ties retirement benefits to these changes. It sets a minimum $182,000 annual base salary for district judges (up from $140,000), establishes percentages for other judges (e.g., appeals justices at 110% of district judge pay), and includes specific caps on combined state/county compensation. Retirement benefits for elected officials are recalculated using the new district judge salary as a benchmark. The bill directly affects district judges, court of appeals justices, supreme court justices, and criminal appeals judges, with special provisions for the 15th Court of Appeals and chief justices.
