SB 2289 Texas Senate · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to reports regarding county jail prisoners confined in out-of-state jails.

SB 2289 requires Texas county jails to submit annual reports by February 1st about prisoners held in out-of-state jails due to overcrowding. The reports must include the total number of such prisoners and any deaths that occurred during their confinement. The Texas Commission on Jail Standards will set the report format and then summarize the data for state leaders by March 1st each year. This bill directly affects county jails and the commission, creating a system to track overcrowding impacts without changing jail operations or funding.
