Relating to access under the public information law to certain information held by a law enforcement agency or prosecutor.

HB 2961 modifies Texas law to expand public access to certain law enforcement records. It removes exceptions that previously allowed agencies to withhold information depicting non-officer individuals if they were deceased, incapacitated, or if consent wasn't obtained. Specifically, agencies must now disclose such records unless the depicted person (not a peace officer) is deceased/incapacitated *and* no consent was given, or all living depicted people consent to release. This applies only to requests received on or after September 1, 2025, directly affecting people whose information appears in law enforcement records.
