H.B. No. 2282 amends Article 102.011(a) of the Code of Criminal Procedure to increase the reimbursement fee that a defendant must pay for the execution or processing of an arrest warrant, capias, or capias pro fine. The bill raises the fee from $50 to $75. This fee is applicable when a law enforcement agency executes or processes an arrest warrant or capias, with specific conditions outlined for when the fee can be imposed based on the agency's request to the court.
The changes made by this Act will only apply to offenses committed on or after its effective date of September 1, 2025. For offenses committed before this date, the previous law will remain in effect, ensuring that any fees imposed for the execution or processing of arrest warrants or capiases are governed by the law in place at the time of the offense.
