Relating to an affirmative finding of family violence entered in the trial of certain offenses.

HB 2046 requires courts to formally record family violence findings when sentencing defendants convicted of certain offenses under Texas Penal Code. It mandates a $100 fine for defendants on community supervision for family violence offenses, with funds directed to county-based family violence centers receiving state/federal funding. The bill also establishes a legal presumption of family violence in custody cases if a parent was convicted of family violence-related offenses or had parental rights terminated. These changes apply only to offenses committed on or after September 1, 2025, with prior cases governed by existing law.
