Localities Keep Courts Proposed by de Hoyos at Convention
Former Monticello mayor Luis de Hoyos proposes counties vote to retain justice courts if a statewide district court system is adopted. The plan would let towns villages and cities choose their existing courts, with local referendums required for any new district court mandate. Contending reformists back the district plan amid critiques of rural lawyer scarcity.
