House Bill 2124 amends the Code of Criminal Procedure to require the clerk of a court that issues an order requiring the release of a person acquitted by reason of insanity on discharge or on a regimen of outpatient care to directly notify the victim or the victim's guardian or close relative of the release instead of providing the victim's contact information to the Texas Department of Criminal Justice victim services division to enable the division to provide that notification.
