Bill Analysis

SB 1804 would require a magistrate to send a copy of an order that imposes, modifies, or removes a condition of bond to the municipal chief of police or county sheriff, depending on whether the victim resides in a municipality. The clerk of the court would be required to send a copy of the order to the victim. If the order prohibits the defendant from going to or near a child care facility or school, the magistrate would be required to send a copy to the applicable facility or school.

The receiving law enforcement agency would be required to enter certain related information from the order into the statewide law enforcement information system maintained by the Department of Public Safety (DPS). 

Vote Recommendation Notes

Texas Action remains neutral on SB 1804 because it does not impact our principles.
