HB 3603 revises evidence rules in family violence prosecutions. It allows prosecutors to introduce evidence of prior acts of domestic violence committed by the defendant against the same victim. The bill overrides standard evidentiary rules (Texas Rules of Evidence 404 and 405) and requires judges to hold pre-trial hearings to determine admissibility.
