1-1                                   AN ACT
 1-2     relating to contraband subject to seizure under a search warrant.
 1-3           BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:
 1-4           SECTION 1.  Article 18.01(d), Code of Criminal Procedure, is
 1-5     amended to read as follows:
 1-6           (d)  Only the specifically described property or items set
 1-7     forth in a search warrant issued under Subdivision (10) of Article
 1-8     18.02 of this code or property, [or] items or contraband enumerated
 1-9     in Subdivisions (1) through (9) or in Subdivision (12) of Article
1-10     18.02 of this code may be seized.  A subsequent search warrant may
1-11     be issued pursuant to Subdivision (10) of Article 18.02 of this
1-12     code to search the same person, place, or thing subjected to a
1-13     prior search under Subdivision (10) of Article 18.02 of this code
1-14     only if the subsequent search warrant is issued by a judge of a
1-15     district court, a court of appeals, the court of criminal appeals,
1-16     or the supreme court.
1-17           SECTION 2.  The importance of this legislation and the
1-18     crowded condition of the calendars in both houses create an
1-19     emergency and an imperative public necessity that the
1-20     constitutional rule requiring bills to be read on three several
1-21     days in each house be suspended, and this rule is hereby suspended,
1-22     and that this Act take effect and be in force from and after its
1-23     passage, and it is so enacted.
