Relating to repealing civil asset forfeiture provisions and establishing criminal asset forfeiture in this state.

HB 914 repeals Texas' current civil asset forfeiture system and establishes a new criminal asset forfeiture system under Chapter 59A of the Code of Criminal Procedure. It would allow law enforcement to seize property only after a criminal conviction for specific serious offenses, including certain felonies (like drug trafficking or fraud) and repeat misdemeanors related to health care or business laws. The bill defines key terms like "contraband" and specifies that stolen property cannot be seized under this new system. This change would directly affect law enforcement agencies and individuals whose property is connected to qualifying criminal cases.
