The Hays County Commissioners Court authorized a resolution establishing a new county district court and approved its 2020 fiscal year report at its March 30 meeting.
The court unanimously approved a resolution calling for the creation of an additional district court within Hays County to assist with the growing population and court system caseload. The district court will go into effect on Sept. 1, 2022.
The resolution came after District 45 State Rep. Erin Zwiener introduced various Texas Legislature bills and requested the court to submit its feedback and resolutions on the bills, one of which asked for the creation of the new court.
