Fiscal Analysis
The bill would appropriate $750,000 to Dallas County for security and
detention costs for six prisoners who escaped from the South Texas
Connally Unit. The bill would also appropriate $500,000 to Dallas County
for related trial and appellate costs. The Governor would have the
discretion to determine the fund or funds from which the appropriations
are made.
Methodology
The estimate assumes the appropriations will be from the General Revenue
Fund and that the bill would have immediate effect.
Local Government Impact
The bill would result in revenue gain to Dallas County as shown above.
