SB 690 amends the Texas Local Government Code to authorize sheriffs and constables in counties with populations of 1 million or more to enter into contracts with property owners’ associations or landowners within a subdivision to provide law enforcement services. The bill prevents commissioners' courts in these counties from restricting or reallocating funds received under these contracts, ensuring that funds credited to the sheriff's or constable's office are used for law enforcement.
