Second state district court slated for Kendall County

Kendall County is getting a second state district court, replacing a county court-at-law that just two weeks ago was postponed until 2029.

The now-abolished county court was created during the 2021 legislative session, causing a stir among courthouse staffers over where to house the new judiciary and over what cases would be heard in its venue.

The shift in focus kicked off with a special-called meeting April 21, when the Commissioners Court voted to adjourn the county court’s construction, allowing more time to work out the details.
