HB 5080 Texas House · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to the confidentiality of certain information for employees of a county, a court, or the Office of Court Administration of the Texas Judicial System and the employees' family members.

HB 5080 protects the privacy of certain court-related employees and their families by requiring voter registration offices to keep their home addresses and contact information confidential. It specifically applies to federal/state judges, clerks (county/district), court administrators, employees of the Office of Court Administration, and their family members. The bill amends election law to mandate that registrars omit these individuals' residence addresses from public voter lists, while also requiring the Office of Court Administration to notify relevant agencies (like county registrars and the Texas Ethics Commission) about who qualifies for this privacy protection. This creates a formal process to ensure sensitive personal information for these public employees remains private under existing state confidentiality laws.
