LEGISLATIVE BUDGET BOARD
Austin, Texas
 
CRIMINAL JUSTICE IMPACT STATEMENT

87TH LEGISLATIVE REGULAR SESSION
 
March 25, 2021

TO:
Honorable Andrew S. Murr, Chair, House Committee on Corrections
 
FROM:
Jerry McGinty, Director, Legislative Budget Board
 
IN RE:
HB787 by Allen (Relating to conditions of community supervision prohibiting contact with certain persons.), Committee Report 1st House, Substituted

The provisions of the bill addressed by this analysis would amend the Code of Criminal Procedure as it relates to the conditions of community supervision prohibiting contact with certain persons. Under the provisions of the bill, a judge who places a person under community supervision would not be able, as a condition of community supervision, to prohibit contact or interaction with a person who belongs to an organization which includes people who have criminal histories as outlined in the bill. 

This analysis assumes 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.
