Relating to the duties of peace officers investigating a family violence allegation or responding to a disturbance call that may involve family violence.

HB 3343 requires Texas peace officers investigating family violence allegations or responding to disturbance calls involving potential family violence to physically separate individuals at the scene. It mandates specific measures to prevent suspects from intimidating victims, including blocking eye contact, using separate rooms if indoors, and creating physical or verbal barriers (like distance or partitions). The bill directly affects peace officers during family violence investigations, aiming to protect victims' safety and testimony. It takes effect September 1, 2025, and amends the Code of Criminal Procedure to standardize these protocols.
