Relating to the amount of the reimbursement fee paid by a defendant for a peace officer's services in executing or processing an arrest warrant, capias, or capias pro fine.
HB 2282 increases the reimbursement fee for peace officers executing or processing arrest warrants, capias, or capias pro fine from $50 to $75 for defendants convicted of felonies or misdemeanors. The fee applies to either the law enforcement agency that executed the warrant (if requested within 15 days of execution) or the agency that processed it (if the warrant wasn't executed or the executing agency missed the deadline). This change only affects fees for offenses committed on or after September 1, 2025, with prior offenses still subject to the $50 fee under previous law. The bill modifies Texas Code of Criminal Procedure Section 102.011(a) and takes effect on September 1, 2025.

MINOR
This bill text was reformatted from an 'Engrossed' version to an 'Enrolled' version, which is the final version signed by the Governor. The substantive policy content regarding reimbursement fees for peace officers remains unchanged. The primary differences are formatting improvements, removal of draft annotations, and addition of official certification signatures.
TECHNICAL
Removed draft annotations, page numbers, and legislative tracking codes that were present in the earlier version
Added official certification signatures from legislative officers and the Governor to indicate final approval
Reorganized text layout and removed extraneous notes about accessibility updates that were not part of the actual bill text
