It calls for abolishing civil appeals and district courts, replacing district clerks and district attorneys, and expanding the supreme and criminal appeals courts. A county court would replace district court with direct county appeals, and justice court appeals would go to the county court. An additional county commissioner would oversee county administration. A Savage bill would let county commissions hire and pay county employees from the general fund.
