Smaller Texas cities combine court funding accounts

Texas cities with fewer than 100,000 people now combine their municipal court security and technology funds. The combined fund sits in the municipal court treasury, under the city governing body's direction. Its money comes from court costs and can pay only for legally approved court security and technology uses. Cities with 100,000 or more people keep separate municipal court security and technology funds. Using historical data where practical, court cost allocations must meet these minimum shares: 35% for security and 28.5714% for technology. In smaller cities, both shares go into the combined fund. The minimum shares also include 35.7143% for youth diversion and 0.7143% for the county or municipal jury fund. Fee changes apply only to collections on or after the law's effective date; earlier collections follow prior law. The law sets immediate effect with approval by two-thirds of all elected members in each legislative chamber; otherwise, September 1, 2025.
