A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
AN ACT
relating to the authority of a court to return certain fees to a

history record information.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:
SECTION 1. Subchapter E-1, Chapter 411, Government Code, is
amended by adding Section 411.0746 to read as follows:
Sec. 411.0746. RETURN OF FEES. A court that issues an order
of nondisclosure of criminal history record information under this
subchapter may order that any fee, or portion of a fee, required to
be paid under this subchapter or other law in relation to the order
be returned to the person who is the subject of that order.
SECTION 2. The changes in law made by this Act apply only to
an order of nondisclosure of criminal history record information

continued in effect for that purpose.
