Relating to court administration, including the term of a local administrative judge, court administration training, and the compensation of certain administrative judges.

Texas Senate Bill 2070 updates court administration rules for Texas judges. It requires local administrative judges to be elected by district judges without using rotation or seniority (Section 74.091(b-1)), and creates an annual Court Leadership Conference to share budget and operational information (Subchapter D-1). The bill also adjusts compensation for judges serving in these roles: they receive additional pay equal to 3% (3-4 courts), 5% (5-9 courts), or 7% (10+ courts) of their base salary, based on county size. This directly affects district judges elected as local administrative judges and court administrators in counties with multiple district courts.
