House Bill 1003 amends the Code of Criminal Procedure to require the Texas Department of Criminal Justice to notify a victim of an offense to which victim and witness notification requirements apply or a witness who testified against the defendant at the trial whenever the inmate, if subject to electronic monitoring as a condition of release, ceases to be electronically monitored following the term of imprisonment. The bill requires a community supervision and corrections department supervising a defendant convicted of an offense to which victim and witness notification requirements apply and released on community supervision to provide the same notification whenever the defendant ceases to be electronically monitored.
