Bill Analysis

HB 674 would require the Attorney General and State Bar of Texas to develop information to provide to the public about potential provisions in a protective order, including the ability of a court to prohibit someone from removing a pet from the applicant's possession. Prosecuting attorneys would be required to make the information developed readily available at their offices for people who wish to apply for a protective order.

Vote Recommendation Notes

Texas Action is neutral on HB 674 as it does not touch directly upon any of our Liberty Principles.
