HB 1371 Texas House · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to the dissemination of criminal history record information by the Department of Public Safety concerning certain intoxication offenses.

HB 1371 makes criminal history records for specific intoxication offenses (like DUI convictions under Texas Penal Code Sections 49.04, 49.045, 49.07, or 49.08) publicly accessible for 10 years. It requires the Texas Department of Public Safety to maintain a free, searchable online database showing offenders' names, aliases, addresses, physical descriptions, and photos, while excluding social security numbers, license details, and victim information. The database must automatically remove these records 10 years after conviction, if the conviction is overturned, or if a court issues a nondisclosure order. This bill directly affects individuals convicted of these offenses and the public accessing the records.
