House Bill 2038 amends the Health and Safety Code to authorize an emergency services district located wholly in Tarrant County to employ or contract with private legal counsel to represent the district on any legal matter. If the district does not employ or contract with private legal counsel on a legal matter, the bill requires the county attorney, district attorney, or criminal district attorney, as appropriate, to represent the district and requires the district to contribute money to be credited to the county's general fund account for all additional salaries and expenses incurred by that officer in performing the duties required by the district.
