HB 3009 expands the Texas Department of Public Safety's computerized central database of offenders who have committed certain violent offenses. It requires the database to include individuals who are unlawfully present in the United States and have been convicted on two or more occasions of violent offenses under state law, federal law, or the laws of a federally recognized Indian Tribe. The bill mandates that the database contain additional identifying information, including the individual's last known location. The law applies retroactively to qualifying offenses committed before the bill's effective date, and the Department of Public Safety must update the database by January 1, 2026.
