House Bill 300 amends the Code of Criminal Procedure to remove the requirement for a justice of the peace to deliver to the district clerk for safekeeping evidence accumulated in the course of an inquest that tends to show the real cause of death or identify the person who caused the death. The bill repeals a provision requiring the certification and delivery of a copy of an inquest summary report by a justice of the peace and its retention by a district clerk.
