Digest
HB 2046 expands the requirement for courts to make an affirmative finding of family violence in any offense under the Penal Code, rather than limiting it to certain offenses under Title 5. The bill also mandates fines for offenders placed on community supervision, directing the funds to family violence centers. It presumes family violence occurred if the defendant has prior related convictions and addresses parental rights in family law cases​.
