HB 3718 modifies the jurisdiction of county courts at law in Wichita County. It clarifies that all misdemeanor cases, probate and mental health matters, and appeals from municipal courts of record must be filed in the county court at law. The bill also grants the court concurrent jurisdiction with district courts for family law cases, civil cases with a value up to $200,000, and appeals from justice courts, while explicitly excluding jurisdiction over cases related to the Alcoholic Beverage Code, Election Code, and Tax Code.
