Enrolled Bill Summary

Senate Bill 1807	Senate Author:  Lucio
Effective:  Vetoed	House Sponsor:  Lozano

            Senate Bill 1807 amends the Government Code to provide that the 444th Judicial District, formerly composed of Cameron County, is composed of Cameron and Willacy Counties.

Reason Given for Veto: "Senate Bill 1807 would allow the 444th District Court of Cameron County to have concurrent jurisdiction in Willacy County.  However, this bill was not thoroughly discussed with all affected entities in Willacy and Cameron counties.  While I appreciate any attempt to improve the efficiency of Texas courts, all parties affected by this change should be involved in determining the best methods for making such improvements."
