Amendments to Texas District Courts

The bill seeks to modify existing legislation regarding the organization of district courts in Texas. Specifically, it proposes to:

• Include College Station as a location where district court can be held.

Amendments to California District Courts

Similarly, the bill aims to update the organization of district courts in California by:

• Adding El Centro as another location where district court sessions can take place, specifically after the location at San Diego.
