Summary

Due by January 31 on each department’s website.

The bill requires every city police department and county sheriff's department in Texas to post a yearly report on its website by January 31. The report counts the offenses tied to arrests that year in which the department knew the arrested person was not lawfully present in the United States, and it lists each offense and the total number of offenses for each such person. The change is a new public posting duty for local law enforcement starting September 1, 2025, with the first report due in early 2026.
