            House Bill 3237 amends the Code of Criminal Procedure to change the time at which a sworn affidavit setting forth substantial facts establishing probable cause for a search warrant becomes public information, to set a deadline by which an officer is required to return an executed search warrant, and to establish that an officer's failure to timely return such a warrant or to submit an inventory of the property taken into the officer's possession under the warrant does not bar the admission of evidence.
