House Bill 570 amends the Code of Criminal Procedure to require a copy of a magistrate's order for the emergency protection of a victim of family violence, sexual assault, aggravated sexual assault, or stalking to be served to the defendant by the magistrate or the magistrate's designee in person or electronically, rather than to the defendant in open court, and to require the magistrate to make a separate record of the service in written or electronic format.
