33rd / 424th District Courts

The total population of the four counties of the 33rd Judicial District has probably passed 65,000. With the demise of the visiting judge program (which is expected to at least remain scaled way back) and the increasing need for bench time, a permanent solution is needed to provide greater court availability.

Discuss these ideas:

1. Add an additional district court over the same four counties
2. Add a criminal district court over the same four counties
3. Add a county court at law for Llano County
4. Remove some of the counties from the 33rd
5. Any other ideas anyone has ....
