ATTENTION, VOTERS!

. - The Probate Court (which handles the affairs of deceased persons, minors,
incompetents, those mentally ill, etc.) has historically been under the jurisdiction of the
County Judge. As such, it is one court which is not overcrowded in which all matters
receive prompt attention.
Amendment No.6 will lead to removing the Probate Court from the County Judge and
placing such matters in the District Court, which is traditionally crowded.
Quiet honestly, this would mean less work for me (no change in pay either way), but, in
my opinion, poorer service for the citizens. My suggestion is that you:
