HB 2401 expands the jurisdiction of county courts at law in Hidalgo County. The bill grants these courts concurrent jurisdiction with district courts in handling criminal cases for offenses punishable as state jail felonies, in addition to their existing jurisdiction over family law and civil cases. Previously, county courts at law in Hidalgo County were limited in their ability to hear such cases. This change applies to actions filed on or after September 1, 2025.
