House Bill 1758 amends the Code of Criminal Procedure and Penal Code to require each law enforcement agency that uses or intends to use a drone for law enforcement purposes to adopt and update as necessary a written policy regarding the agency's use of force by means of a drone and to submit the policy to the Texas Commission on Law Enforcement every two years. The bill also limits the circumstances under which the use of force, including deadly force, involving a drone is justified.
