IN RE:
HB766 by Harless (Relating to the entry into the Texas Crime Information Center of certain information regarding orders imposing a condition of bond in a criminal case involving a violent offense.), Committee Report 1st House, Substituted
The bill would amend the Code of Criminal Procedure as it relates to bail. Under the provisions of the bill, certain individuals would be required to report within a specified time limit certain information for individuals issued bonds for certain violent offenses to the Texas Crime Information Center database maintained by the Department of Public Safety.
This analysis assumes that implementing the provisions of the bill would not result in a significant impact on the demand for state correctional resources. The bill does not expressly create a felony offense, increase the punishment for an existing misdemeanor to that of a felony, increase the punishment for an existing felony offense or category of felony level offenses, or change the eligibility of a person for felony community supervision, parole, or mandatory supervision.
