Relating to the jurisdiction of a county court at law in Potter County.

SB 496 modifies Texas law to give Potter County Court at Law No. 1 concurrent authority with district courts in felony cases. Specifically, it allows this county court to handle arraignments, pretrial hearings, and uncontested pleas in felony matters - previously handled solely by district courts. The bill directly affects defendants in felony cases within Potter County and the county court's caseload. It becomes effective on September 1, 2025, streamlining certain felony proceedings without changing the court's overall jurisdiction.
