Summary

Police carry them out as soon as practicable.

The bill requires a law enforcement agency to carry out, as soon as practicable, a warrant sent to it for the return of a parolee in the state's super-intensive supervision program when the warrant is based on a violation of an electronic monitoring condition. It touches local and state law enforcement agencies and parolees or people on mandatory supervision in that program. Warrants for these monitoring violations that are issued on or after September 1, 2025 must be acted on promptly instead of waiting in a queue.

A BILL TO BE ENTITLED

AN ACT

relating to the execution of a warrant issued for certain releasees

who violate a condition of parole or mandatory supervision related

to the electronic monitoring of the releasee.

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

the agency and issued for the return of a releasee in the

super-intensive supervision program based on a violation of a

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

of this Act. An arrest warrant that was issued before the effective

date of this Act is governed by the law in effect on the date the

warrant was issued, and the former law is continued in effect for

that purpose.

SECTION 3. This Act takes effect September 1, 2025.
