Texas SB23 amends court administration rules, setting terms for local administrative district judges and establishing an annual court administration.

Texas SB23 modifies the election and term of local administrative district judges, allowing them to serve for up to two years or the remainder of their term if it ends before the second anniversary of their election. The bill also prohibits election based on rotation or seniority. In counties with two or more district courts, if the judges cannot agree on a local administrative district judge, the regional presiding judge will cast the deciding vote.
