         SECTION 1.  Section 264.408(d), Family Code, is amended to
  read as follows:
         (d)  A video recording of an interview of a child that is made
  by [at] a center is the property of the prosecuting attorney
  involved in the criminal prosecution of the case involving the
  child. If no criminal prosecution occurs, the video recording is
  the property of the attorney involved in representing the
  department in a civil action alleging child abuse or neglect. If
  the matter involving the child is not prosecuted, the video
  recording is the property of the department if the matter is an
  investigation by the department of abuse or neglect. If the
  department is not investigating or has not investigated the matter,
  the video recording is the property of the agency that referred the
  matter to the center. [If the center employs a custodian of records
  for video recordings of interviews of children, the center is
  responsible for the custody of the video recording. A video
  recording of an interview may be shared with other agencies under a
  written agreement.]
         SECTION 2.  This Act takes effect September 1, 2015.
