HB 3400 lowers the population threshold for a law enforcement agency to qualify as a "designated law enforcement office or agency" under Texas law regarding tracking equipment and access to communications. The bill reduces the requirement for county sheriff’s departments from a population of 3.3 million to 500,000 and maintains provisions for municipal police departments, the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's Office of Inspector General, and the Texas Juvenile Justice Department.
