BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS: | ||
SECTION 1. The heading to Article 17.50, Code of Criminal | ||
Procedure, is amended to read as follows: | ||
Art. 17.50. ENTRY INTO TEXAS CRIME INFORMATION CENTER OF | ||
CERTAIN INFORMATION IN CASES INVOLVING VIOLENT OFFENSES OR | ||
STALKING; DUTIES OF MAGISTRATES, SHERIFFS, AND DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC | ||
SAFETY. | ||
SECTION 2. Articles 17.50(b) and (f), Code of Criminal | ||
Procedure, are amended to read as follows: | ||
(b) As soon as practicable but not later than the next day | ||
after the date a magistrate issues an order imposing a condition of | ||
bond on a defendant under this chapter for a violent offense or an | ||
offense under Section 42.072, Penal Code, the magistrate shall | ||
notify the sheriff of the condition and provide to the sheriff the | ||
following information: | ||
(1) the information listed in Section 411.042(b)(6), | ||
Government Code, as that information relates to an order described | ||
by this subsection; | ||
(2) the name and address of any named person the | ||
condition of bond is intended to protect, and if different and | ||
applicable, the name and address of the victim of the alleged | ||
offense; | ||
(3) the date the order releasing the defendant on bond | ||
was issued; and | ||
(4) the court that issued the order releasing the | ||
defendant on bond. | ||
(f) The Department of Public Safety shall: | ||
(1) modify the database to enable the database to | ||
accept and maintain detailed information on active conditions of | ||
bond regarding the requirements and status of a condition of bond | ||
imposed by a magistrate for a violent offense or an offense under | ||
Section 42.072, Penal Code, including information described by | ||
Subsections (b) and (c); and | ||
