The 23rd Judicial District, which consists of Cheatham, Dickson, Houston, Humphreys and Stewart counties, will soon have a new circuit court judge. HB1830/SB2855, sponsored by Rep. Mary Littleton, R-Dickson, creates Division IV in the 23rd Judicial District and adds a judicial seat to serve that court. The judges serve in all capacities — circuit, criminal, civil and chancery — including all domestic relations, according to the Cheatham County Exchange. Gov. Bill Lee will appoint a judge to serve beginning Sept. 1. The seat will then be subject to an election in August 2026.
