Relating to a central database containing information about certain persons who have been convicted of or received a grant of deferred adjudication community supervision for certain offenses involving family violence and related notice requirements; creating a criminal offense.

HB 2956 creates a statewide database to track individuals convicted of or granted deferred adjudication for family violence offenses (age 17+ at time of offense). It requires these individuals to register with local law enforcement annually, or more frequently (quarterly or monthly) if deemed high-risk or lacking a permanent address. Registration must continue for 10 years after their last conviction. Failure to register constitutes a criminal offense under the bill.
