House Bill 4879 amends the Government Code to require the Department of Public Safety (DPS) to establish and maintain a computer‑based Texas crime information system consisting of incident‑based crime information and statistics submitted by local law enforcement agencies for use by authorized personnel of criminal justice agencies. The bill requires DPS to use the information in the system to periodically publish reports regarding criminal activities in Texas, to submit the reports to the governor and the legislature, and to submit the information and statistics received from law enforcement agencies to the FBI.
