89R12044 AJZ-D By: Alders H.B. No. 2813 A BILL TO BE ENTITLED AN ACT relating to victim notification of certain scheduled court proceedings. BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS: SECTION 1. Article 56A.452, Code of Criminal Procedure, is amended to read as follows: Art. 56A.452. NOTIFICATION OF SCHEDULED COURT PROCEEDINGS. (a) If requested by the victim, the attorney representing the state, as soon [ far ] as reasonably practicable [ practical ], shall give the victim notice of: (1) any scheduled court proceedings and changes in that schedule; and (2) the filing of a request for continuance of a trial setting. (b) Notwithstanding Subsection (a), the attorney representing the state shall provide notice of a scheduled court proceeding to the victim not later than the 60th day before the date the proceeding is scheduled to occur, except that: (1) subject to Subdivision (2), if the court schedules the proceeding to occur on a date that will not allow for the timing of the notice otherwise required by this subsection, the attorney representing the state shall provide the notice not later than the fifth day after the date the court schedules the proceeding; and (2) if the court schedules the proceeding in an emergency or expedited manner, the attorney representing the state shall provide the notice as soon as practicable, but not later than 24 hours after the court schedules the proceeding. SECTION 2. The change in law made by this Act applies only to the scheduling of a criminal proceeding by a court on or after the effective date of this Act. The scheduling of a criminal proceeding by a court before the effective date of this Act is governed by the law in effect on the date the court scheduled the proceeding, and the former law is continued in effect for that purpose. SECTION 3. This Act takes effect September 1, 2025.
