Relating to the information reported by prosecuting attorneys to the Texas Judicial Council.

HB 5354 requires Texas prosecuting attorneys (county attorneys, district attorneys, and criminal district attorneys handling criminal cases) to report specific data to the Texas Judicial Council. The bill mandates reporting on four key areas: (1) categories and numbers of criminal cases prosecuted, (2) staffing levels and adequacy for caseloads, (3) defendants released under Article 17.151 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, and (4) electronic notices submitted to courts under Article 17.027. The Texas Judicial Council must establish the reporting format by September 1, 2026, after consulting with the Texas District and County Attorneys Association. This bill directly affects prosecutors' reporting obligations but does not change criminal law or sentencing.
