Relating to contracting with law enforcement agencies in certain counties.

Summary

The law permits sheriffs and constables in the state’s largest counties to hire local governments, homeowner associations, or private landowners to provide law‑enforcement services in defined areas, and bars county commissioners courts from prohibiting such contracts. It also requires voter approval for any cuts or re‑allocation of law‑enforcement funding and forbids counties from moving that money to general funds. Violations trigger a complaint process, comptroller review, and tax penalties.
