87R3401 MAW-D     By: Leman H.B. No. 1007       A BILL TO BE ENTITLED   AN ACT   relating to conditions of release on bond for a defendant charged   with certain trafficking or prostitution related offenses.          BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:          SECTION 1.  Chapter 17, Code of Criminal Procedure, is   amended by adding Article 17.465 to read as follows:          Art. 17.465.  CONDITIONS FOR DEFENDANT CHARGED WITH CERTAIN   TRAFFICKING OR PROSTITUTION RELATED OFFENSES. (a) A magistrate   shall require as a condition of release on bond that a defendant   charged with an offense under Section 20A.02, 20A.03, 43.03,   43.031, 43.04, 43.041, or 43.05, Penal Code, may not:                (1)  communicate directly or indirectly with the   victim; or                (2)  go to or near:                      (A)  the residence, place of employment, or   business of the victim; or                      (B)  if applicable, a school, day-care facility,   or similar facility where a dependent child of the victim is in   attendance.          (b)  The magistrate shall specifically describe the   prohibited locations under Subsection (a)(2) and the minimum   distances, if any, that the defendant must maintain from the   locations.          (c)  At a hearing limited to determining whether the   defendant violated a condition of bond imposed under Subsection   (a), the magistrate may revoke the defendant's bond only if the   magistrate finds by a preponderance of the evidence that the   violation occurred.  If the magistrate finds that the violation   occurred, the magistrate shall revoke the defendant's bond and   order that the defendant be immediately returned to custody.  Once   the defendant is placed in custody, the revocation of the   defendant's bond discharges the sureties on the bond, if any, from   any future liability on the bond.  A discharge under this subsection   from any future liability on the bond does not discharge any surety   from liability for previous forfeitures on the bond.          SECTION 2.  The change in law made by this Act applies only   to a person who is arrested on or after the effective date of this   Act.  A person arrested before the effective date of this Act is   governed by the law in effect on the date the person was arrested,   and the former law is continued in effect for that purpose.          SECTION 3.  This Act takes effect September 1, 2021.
