SB 1564 Texas Senate · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to the peace officer status of designated investigators of a municipal office of inspector general.

This bill adds Dallas Inspector General investigators to the list of designated peace officers under Texas law. It directly affects investigators employed by the City of Dallas's Inspector General office, granting them specific law enforcement powers. The key mechanism is amending the Code of Criminal Procedure to include these investigators as "peace officers" under a new subsection (34), aligning them with other government investigators who hold similar status. This is a procedural change that modifies existing legal definitions without altering investigative procedures or funding.
