Relating to prohibiting a registered sex offender from residing within a certain distance of a public primary or secondary school.

HB 1140 would prohibit registered sex offenders in Texas from residing within a certain distance of public primary or secondary schools. The bill amends the Texas Code of Criminal Procedure to add this residency restriction to existing sex offender registration requirements. It would directly affect individuals required to register as sex offenders under state law who wish to live near schools. The law would require offenders to choose housing outside the designated zone around schools to avoid violating the new rule.
