Relating to the dismissal of a criminal case by the attorney representing the state.

This bill requires Texas state attorneys to provide specific written reasons when dismissing criminal cases, including lack of evidence or actual innocence. If a dismissal relates to police misconduct, attorneys must document the misconduct, refer the matter to the law enforcement agency for review, and consider whether to charge the officer. All dismissals still require the presiding judge's consent. The law takes effect September 1, 2025, applying only to dismissals occurring after that date.
