Bill Summary
Relating to a prohibition on the issuance of a warrant authorizing the use of a no-knock entry by a peace officer.
AI Summary
This bill prohibits magistrates from issuing warrants that authorize "no-knock entries" by peace officers, which are entries into a building or other place without first giving notice of the officer's authority or purpose. The bill defines "no-knock entry" and amends the Texas Code of Criminal Procedure to prohibit magistrates from issuing such warrants. The changes in the law apply only to warrants issued on or after the effective date of September 1, 2021, and the former law continues to apply to warrants issued before that date.
