FROM: John Keel, Director

In response to your request for a Fiscal Note on House Bill No.
2096 (relating to the appointment of a special judge to preside
in a justice court in Harris County) this office has determined
the following:

The bill would enlarge the pool of special judges that may serve
as a visiting justice of the peace in Harris County,  if a
justice of the peace is absent or unable to preside, to include
former county court, statutory county court and district court
judges. 


No fiscal implication to the State or units of local government
is anticipated.
