Relating to the funding of law enforcement agencies in certain counties.

Summary

The act gives sheriffs and constables in the state’s largest counties the power to enter contracts with cities, homeowners’ associations or private landowners to provide police services in those areas, regardless of the county commissioners court’s wishes. It also bars counties from moving law‑enforcement money to other funds and makes any reduction or re‑allocation of that money subject to a voter‑approved election. Enforcement is tied to complaints, a comptroller review, and limits on local tax rates until the issue is resolved.
