Making It Easier for Criminal Defendants to Walk Free Before Trial

2025 - Texas House of Representatives

Conservatives Oppose

Description

This bill changes standards for releasing certain defendants detained in jail pending trial, expanding opportunities for pretrial release. It risks putting repeat offenders back on the streets rather than prioritizing community safety. CPAC stands with victims and law enforcement against soft-on-crime pretrial release policies and opposed this bill. The House passed this bill on 2025-05-13 by a vote of 115-23. The Governor vetoed this bill.
