HB 3566 Texas House · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to the frequency of county bail bond board meetings.

HB 3566 requires county bail bond boards in specific counties to meet at least six times annually (in January, March, May, July, September, and November), instead of monthly, if the county has a population under 1.3 million and contains a municipality with 750,000+ residents. This change directly affects those county boards and license holders who apply for renewal after the bill's effective date. The bill also adds a provision ensuring that if a board fails to act on a renewal application, the current license remains valid until the next board meeting. These changes apply only to counties meeting the specified population criteria, with the law taking effect in July or September 2025 depending on legislative approval.
