Summary

The Governor of Texas vetoed House Bill 413 on June 22, 2025. The bill related to the release of certain defendants detained in jail pending trial. As a result, the provisions of the bill will not be enacted into law.

What changed

Texas Governor vetoed HB413 on June 22, 2025, preventing the bill from becoming law. The bill, which had progressed to 100% completion, concerned the release of defendants detained in jail awaiting trial. The veto means that the proposed changes to the release procedures for such defendants will not be implemented.

This action means that current procedures for the release of defendants pending trial remain in effect. Compliance officers and legal professionals involved in criminal justice proceedings in Texas should be aware that the proposed legislative changes will not alter existing protocols. No new actions are required as the bill was vetoed, effectively removing it from consideration for the current legislative session.
