Relating to creating the criminal offense of continuous manufacture or delivery of a controlled substance.

SB 1152 creates a new third-degree felony offense for individuals who repeatedly engage in drug-related conduct within a 12-month period. Specifically, it targets those who commit two or more separate acts that would each qualify as a drug offense under existing Texas law (Sections 481.112, 481.1121, 481.113, or 481.114) during the same timeframe. The bill streamlines prosecution by allowing juries to convict without unanimous agreement on specific dates, locations, or exact acts, as long as they agree on the pattern of behavior. It also prevents double conviction for related offenses committed within the same period and takes effect September 1, 2025. This bill directly affects individuals repeatedly involved in drug manufacturing or distribution.
