(a) At the end of each state fiscal year, the comptroller shall determine the amounts deposited in the judicial fund by statutory probate courts and the sum of the amount paid under § 25.0022(e) and the total amounts paid to the counties under § 25.00211. If the total amount deposited in the judicial fund by statutory probate courts in all counties exceeds that sum, the state shall remit the excess proportionately to each county that deposited a greater amount in the judicial fund by statutory probate court than the amount the county was paid under § 25.00211, as adjusted in an equitable manner to reflect the differences in the total amounts paid to the counties under § 25.00211.
(b) The amounts remitted under Subsection (a) shall be paid to the county treasury for deposit in the contributions fund created under § 25.00213.

Terms Used In Texas Government Code 25.00212

  • Comptroller: means the state comptroller of public accounts. See Texas Government Code 312.011
  • Equitable: Pertaining to civil suits in "equity" rather than in "law." In English legal history, the courts of "law" could order the payment of damages and could afford no other remedy. See damages. A separate court of "equity" could order someone to do something or to cease to do something. See, e.g., injunction. In American jurisprudence, the federal courts have both legal and equitable power, but the distinction is still an important one. For example, a trial by jury is normally available in "law" cases but not in "equity" cases. Source: U.S. Courts
  • Fiscal year: The fiscal year is the accounting period for the government. For the federal government, this begins on October 1 and ends on September 30. The fiscal year is designated by the calendar year in which it ends; for example, fiscal year 2006 begins on October 1, 2005 and ends on September 30, 2006.
  • Probate: Proving a will
