HB 3028 Texas House · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to requiring notice regarding the potential eligibility to vote of certain persons convicted of a felony.

HB 3028 requires courts and corrections officials to provide written notice to certain individuals about potential voting eligibility after completing felony sentences. Specifically, judges must notify felony defendants on community supervision when their supervision ends, and the Department of Corrections must notify inmates who complete their sentences (including parole or supervision) about possible voter registration under Texas Election Code Section 13.001. The bill applies only to people fully discharging sentences on or after its effective date (September 1, 2025). It does not change voting eligibility rules but ensures affected individuals receive clear information about their existing rights.
