Relating to the creation of additional judicial districts composed of Harris County.

HB 255 creates five new judicial districts (513th through 517th) entirely within Harris County, Texas. The 513th, 514th, and 515th districts take effect January 1, 2026, while the 516th and 517th districts begin October 1, 2026. This bill adds specific sections to the Texas Government Code to formally define these districts as composed solely of Harris County. It is a procedural change that does not alter court procedures, jurisdiction, or substantive law.
