House Bill 1121 amends the Local Government Code to expand the definition of "law enforcement officer" to include an investigator for the office of a district attorney, criminal district attorney, or county attorney.
The act amends the Code of Criminal Procedure to authorize these investigators, when outside their jurisdiction, to arrest, without a warrant, a suspect who commits any offense within the officer's presence or view.
