(a) Except as provided by Subsection (b), a county court at law in Parker County does not have the jurisdiction of a probate court.
(b) A county court at law has concurrent jurisdiction with the district court over contested probate matters. Notwithstanding the requirement in § 32.003(a), Estates Code, that the judge of the constitutional county court transfer a contested probate proceeding to the district court, the judge of the constitutional county court shall transfer the proceeding under that section to either a county court at law in Parker County or a district court in Parker County. A county court at law has the jurisdiction, powers, and duties that a district court has under § 32.003(a), Estates Code, for the transferred proceeding, and the county clerk acts as clerk for the proceeding. The contested proceeding may be transferred between a county court at law in Parker County and a district court in Parker County as provided by local rules of administration.
