SB 1549 Texas Senate · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to the frequency of county bail bond board meetings.

SB 1549 amends Texas law to change meeting requirements for county bail bond boards in specific counties. It requires boards in counties with under 1.3 million residents but containing a city of 750,000+ people to meet at least six times annually during January, March, May, July, September, and November (instead of monthly). This ensures boards address license renewal applications in a timely manner, preventing automatic license expiration if a board fails to act before its next scheduled meeting. The law applies only to renewal applications filed on or after its effective date (July 1, 2025, if passed with two-thirds vote).
