WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, issued a statement following the Committee's unanimous advancement of the Judicial Understaffing Delays Getting Emergencies Solved (JUDGES) Act. This bill, led by Sen. Cruz and other senators, aims to increase the number of federal district judges to address judicial shortages and backlog.
In his statement, Sen. Cruz said, “I am grateful the Senate Judiciary Committee came together in a bipartisan and unanimous way to improve the federal court system for Texans and millions of other Americans across the country. This legislation will help alleviate the backlog many judges are dealing with, and in particular, I’m proud that it will install 13 new district judges in Texas and allow judges to hear cases in College Station.”
The JUDGES Act proposes installing 13 new district judges in Texas across all four judicial districts over the next 12 years. Additionally, it would enable federal judges to hear cases in College Station, enhancing judicial access in the College Station/Bryan area.
