Relating to the statute of limitations for tampering with certain physical evidence.

No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.

Bill Analysis

HB 3789 would remove the statute of limitations for the offense of tampering with physical evidence if the evidence tampered with is a human corpse or the investigation shows that a reasonable person in the position of the defendant would have cause to believe that the evidence tampered with is related to a criminal homicide.

Vote Recommendation Notes

Texas Action is neutral on HB 3789.
