House Bill 2766 amends the Government Code to authorize the presiding judge of an administrative judicial region, with approval of the judge of the affected court, to designate an alternate location in the judicial district at which a district court, a statutory county court, or a county court may conduct its proceedings if the district court is located in a first tier or second tier coastal county and is unable to conduct its proceedings in a county seat because of a disaster. The bill also provides similar authority to the presiding judge of the statutory probate courts to designate an alternate location for a statutory probate court located in a first tier or second tier coastal county to conduct proceedings in the event of a disaster.
