Relating to changing the eligibility of certain persons to receive community supervision, including deferred adjudication community supervision.

HB 1762 would change eligibility rules for community supervision (probation) in Texas by adding "being an illegal alien" as a disqualifying factor. The bill defines "illegal alien" as someone who entered without inspection, violated nonimmigrant status, or failed to comply with immigration conditions. This specifically affects noncitizens in Texas who commit crimes, preventing them from receiving probation or deferred adjudication if their immigration status is deemed unlawful. The bill amends multiple sections of the criminal procedure code to include this criterion, directly impacting immigration status as a barrier to alternative sentencing.
