Relating to the extent of a defendant's criminal responsibility for the conduct of a coconspirator in a capital murder case and the review of certain convictions by the Board of Pardons and Paroles.

HB 5058 modifies Texas law to clarify criminal responsibility for conspirators in capital murder cases. It states that a conspirator can be held liable for capital murder committed by another conspirator if they were a major participant, acted with reckless indifference to human life, and the murder occurred in furtherance of the conspiracy. The bill also requires the Board of Pardons and Paroles to review all death-sentence convictions by January 1, 2026. These changes apply specifically to cases where defendants were found guilty as parties under conspiracy laws.
