To amend title 28, United States Code, to provide an additional place for holding court for the Pecos Division of the Western District of Texas, and for other purposes.
HR 786 amends federal law to add Alpine, Texas and Mount Vernon, Washington as additional locations for holding court sessions in the Pecos Division of the Western District of Texas and the Western District of Washington, respectively. This change directly affects residents and legal proceedings in those communities by providing new local court venues. The bill modifies specific sections of Title 28 (the U.S. Code governing federal courts) to update court location designations without changing legal substance or creating new laws. It is a procedural adjustment to court administration.
