House Bill No. 3330 amends Article 39.14 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, focusing on the discovery process in criminal cases. Key changes include a clearer definition of "the state," which now encompasses both the attorney representing the state and any law enforcement agency involved in the case. The bill mandates that the state attorney must produce relevant evidence upon receiving a specific written request from the defendant, while also allowing for the possibility of limiting discovery requests if deemed overly broad or burdensome. Additionally, the bill introduces new subsections that outline the procedures for discovery conferences, compliance requirements, and potential remedies for noncompliance, including the possibility of suppressing evidence if the court finds that the noncompliance was willful or prejudicial.

The bill also emphasizes the importance of documenting any information provided to the defendant and establishes a timeline for discovery requests to ensure timely resolution of issues. It specifies that the rights granted to defendants do not extend to certain communications between the state attorney and their agents, and it clarifies that any inspection of documents must occur in the presence of a state representative. The changes will apply only to criminal proceedings that commence after the bill's effective date of September 1, 2025, ensuring that existing cases are governed by the previous law.
