Texas HB2920 amends the appointment process for special or temporary justices of the peace.

Texas HB2920 amends the Texas Government Code to revise the process for appointing special or temporary justices of the peace. If a justice of the peace is disqualified, sick, or absent, the parties may agree on a substitute or the commissioners court will appoint one. The bill also allows for the appointment of temporary justices in specific circumstances, such as when a justice is unable to perform duties or when a county needs to manage accumulated business. The commissioners court must make unanimous appointments for special or temporary justices.
