Relating to a hearing for an alleged violation of community supervision by a defendant and the manner in which that defendant is required to appear before the court.

SB 803 amends Texas law to change how courts handle alleged violations of community supervision for defendants on deferred adjudication. It requires courts to hold a limited hearing solely to determine whether to proceed with adjudicating guilt on the original charge, and prohibits using uncorroborated polygraph results as the sole evidence for that decision. The bill also clarifies courts retain jurisdiction to hold such hearings even after supervision ends if the state files a motion and issues a capias or summons before expiration. Additionally, it sets a 90-day minimum confinement period for modifying community supervision in state jail felony cases. This bill directly affects defendants in Texas criminal cases with deferred adjudication community supervision.
