SB 2083 Texas Senate · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to the creation of an additional county civil court at law in Harris County.

SB 2083 creates a new County Civil Court at Law No. 5 in Harris County, Texas, adding to the existing four civil courts. This bill directly affects Harris County residents by expanding the county's civil court capacity to handle non-criminal cases like contracts or property disputes. The new court will be operational starting September 1, 2025, as specified in the bill's effective date. This is a procedural change to court structure, not a policy shift affecting laws or regulations.
