A BILL TO BE ENTITLED

AN ACT

relating to the imposition of sanctions on a defendant who violates 
a condition of community supervision.
	BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:                        
	SECTION 1.  Section 6, Article 42.12, Code of Criminal 
Procedure, is amended by adding Subsection (d) to read as follows:
	(d)  This section applies to a defendant for whom a sentence 
of imprisonment is executed after revocation of community 
supervision in the same manner as if the defendant's sentence of 
imprisonment was executed without the defendant first having been 
placed on community supervision.
	SECTION 2.  Section 22, Article 42.12, Code of Criminal 
Procedure, is amended by adding Subsection (e) to read as follows:
	(e)  For a defendant in a felony case determined at a hearing 
under Section 21 to have committed a violation of a condition of 
community supervision that did not involve an arrest or criminal 
charge for  or  conviction of an offense, the judge may revoke the 
defendant's community supervision only if the judge determines that  
modifying the defendant's community supervision by imposing a 
condition listed in this section will not increase the likelihood 
that the defendant would successfully complete the period of 
community supervision.
	SECTION 3.  This Act takes effect September 1, 2003.
