A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
AN ACT
relating to the execution of a warrant issued for certain
individuals who violate a condition of release on parole or to
mandatory supervision.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:
SECTION 1. Subchapter H, Chapter 508, Government Code, is
amended by adding Section 508.2525 to read as follows:
Sec. 508.2525. WARRANT FOR CERTAIN VIOLATIONS OF
SUPER-INTENSIVE SUPERVISION PROGRAM. A law enforcement agency
shall execute, as soon as practicable, a warrant that is directed to

condition of parole or mandatory supervision related to the
electronic monitoring of the releasee.
SECTION 2. The change in law made by this Act applies only
to an arrest warrant that is issued on or after the effective date

that purpose.
