Proposing a constitutional amendment authorizing the denial of bail under some circumstances to a person accused of a violent or sexual offense or of continuous trafficking of persons and requiring a judge or magistrate to impose the least restrictive conditions of bail that may be necessary to ensure the person's appearance in court as required and the safety of the community, law enforcement, and the victim of the alleged offense.

HJR 115 proposes a Texas constitutional amendment allowing judges to deny bail for individuals accused of violent offenses, sexual offenses, or continuous human trafficking if clear evidence shows bail would not ensure court appearance or community/safety. It requires judges to impose the *least restrictive* bail conditions necessary when bail is granted, and mandates written orders explaining any denial. The amendment specifically applies to cases involving first-degree felony sexual offenses, violent offenses, or human trafficking, and would require judges to consider standard bail factors when making decisions. This measure must be approved by voters in the November 2025 election.
