BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS: | ||
SECTION 1. Article 42A.701(g), Code of Criminal Procedure, | ||
is amended to read as follows: | ||
(g) This article does not apply to a defendant convicted of: | ||
(1) an offense under Sections 49.04-49.08, Penal Code, | ||
unless the defendant successfully completes a veterans treatment | ||
court program under Chapter 124, Government Code; | ||
(2) an offense the conviction of which requires | ||
registration as a sex offender under Chapter 62; or | ||
(3) a felony described by Article 42A.054. | ||
SECTION 2. The change in law made by this Act applies only | ||
to a person who is placed on community supervision for an offense | ||
committed on or after the effective date of this Act. A person who | ||
is placed on community supervision for an offense committed before | ||
the effective date of this Act is governed by the law in effect on | ||
the date the offense was committed, and the former law is continued | ||
in effect for that purpose. For purposes of this section, an | ||
offense was committed before the effective date of this Act if any | ||
element of the offense occurred before that date. | ||
SECTION 3. This Act takes effect September 1, 2023. |
