                                A BILL TO BE ENTITLED

 1-1                                   AN ACT

 1-2     relating to the jurisdiction of the County Court at Law of Rusk

 1-3     County.

 1-4           BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:

 1-5           SECTION 1.  Section 25.2032(a), Government Code, is amended

 1-6     to read as follows:

 1-7           (a)  In addition to the jurisdiction provided by Section

 1-8     25.0003 and other law, a county court at law in Rusk County has

 1-9     concurrent jurisdiction with the district court in:

1-10                 (1)  family law cases and proceedings; and

1-11                 (2)  civil cases.

1-12           SECTION 2.  The importance of this legislation and the

1-13     crowded condition of the calendars in both houses create an

1-14     emergency and an imperative public necessity that the

1-15     constitutional rule requiring bills to be read on three several

1-16     days in each house be suspended, and this rule is hereby suspended,

1-17     and that this Act take effect and be in force from and after its

1-18     passage, and it is so enacted.
