Relating to the duty of a peace officer to use a standardized lethality assessment protocol when investigating a family violence allegation or responding to a disturbance call that may involve family violence; providing training requirements for peace officers and reporting requirements for the Department of Public Safety.

This Texas bill requires peace officers to use a standardized screening tool when investigating family violence allegations or responding to disturbances involving family violence. Officers must ask specific risk questions (such as about weapon threats, choking incidents, or recent separation) to assess the victim's danger level at the scene. The law also mandates training for officers and requires the Department of Public Safety to report on the protocol's implementation. It directly affects law enforcement agencies and family violence victims in Texas.
