Senate Bill 367 amends the Code of Criminal Procedure to authorize a law enforcement agency to provide the owner of certain seized unclaimed or abandoned property who is arrested for a Class C misdemeanor notice relating to the property's description, location, and potential disposition, at the time the owner is taken into or released from custody. The bill requires the owner to sign and attach a thumbprint to the notice, establishes the required contents of the notice, and sets out disposition procedures for property for which such notice is provided but is not claimed by the owner before the 31st day after the owner's release from custody.
