Maddy summaryHB 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.

Maddy summaryHB 911 designates June 24 as "Celebration of Life Day," adding it as a state holiday in Texas.

This change affects state government operations, requiring agencies to close on June 24 each year starting September 1, 2025. The bill does not alter other holiday provisions or provide additional funding.

Maddy summaryHCR 69 is a Texas legislative resolution expressing support for repealing the 17th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. The bill argues that this amendment, which established direct election of U.S. Senators by voters instead of state legislatures, weakened state sovereignty and disrupted the original constitutional balance of power between states and the federal government. It requests that Texas officials forward the resolution to federal leaders for inclusion in the Congressional Record as a formal memorial to Congress. As a concurrent resolution, it has no legal effect but formally states Texas's position on this constitutional issue.

Maddy summaryHB 760 requires Texas state agencies and officials to use the phrase "the people's money" instead of terms like "government funds" or "public money" in official documents, publications, or online notices. It directly affects state agencies issuing public materials, mandating this specific terminology for funds used solely for public purposes. The bill exempts existing statutes, the Texas Constitution, agency rule documents relying on legal phrasing, and funds held in trust for individuals or other entities. The requirement takes effect September 1, 2025.
