House Author: Patrick, Diane et al. |

Effective: 9-1-11 |
Senate Sponsor: Nelson |
Current law grants a constitutional county court in a county that has a population of two million or more original jurisdiction over truancy cases and authorizes the county judge in such a county to appoint one or more part-time or full-time magistrates to hear truancy cases. House Bill 734 amends the Government Code to lower that minimum county population threshold to 1.75 million.
House Bill 734 amends the Education Code and the Family Code to make conforming changes.
