Subsection (g) of this article, a public servant or other person
who has access to or obtains the name, address, telephone number,
or other identifying information of a victim younger than 17 years
of age may not release or disclose the identifying information to
any person who is not assisting in the investigation, prosecution,
or defense of the case.  This subsection does not apply to the
release or disclosure of a victim's identifying information by:
            (1)  a victim; or
            (2)  the victim's parent, conservator, or guardian,
unless the parent, conservator, or guardian is a defendant in the
case.
      SECTION 3.  Article 57.03, Code of Criminal Procedure, is
amended to read as follows:
      Art. 57.03.  OFFENSE. (a)  A public servant with access to
the name, address, or telephone number of a victim 17 years of age
or older who has chosen <to be designated by> a pseudonym under
this chapter commits an offense if the public servant
<intentionally or> knowingly discloses the name, address, or
telephone number of the victim to any person who is not assisting
in the investigation or prosecution of the offense or to any person
other than the defendant, the defendant's attorney, or the person
specified in the order of a court of competent jurisdiction.
      (b)  A public servant or other person commits an offense if

section, the change in law made by this Act in adding Article
57.02(h), Code of Criminal Procedure, applies only to an offense
committed against a juvenile sex offense victim on or after the

the former law is continued in effect for that purpose.
      (b)  The change in law made by this Act in amending Article
57.03, Code of Criminal Procedure, applies only to an offense

continued in effect for that purpose.
      (c)  For purposes of this section, an offense was committed
before the effective date of this Act if any element of the offense
occurred before that date."
