HB 1795 proposes to amend the Texas Penal Code to increase the criminal penalties for specific actions related to dog fighting and cockfighting. It reclassifies the severity of these offenses depending on the particular conduct involved and whether the offender has prior convictions. The bill stipulates adjustments to felony and misdemeanor classifications and establishes a framework for how changes apply to offenses committed after its effective date.
