S.B. No. 2580 amends the definition of a "designated law enforcement office or agency" within the Code of Criminal Procedure. The bill specifies that a designated law enforcement office or agency includes the sheriff's department of a county with a population of 500,000 or more, a police department in a municipality with a population of 200,000 or more, the office of inspector general of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, and the office of inspector general of the Texas Juvenile Justice Department. Notably, the previous threshold for the sheriff's department was set at 3.3 million, which has been removed from the definition.

The bill is set to take effect on September 1, 2025, following its passage in both the Senate and the House with significant support. This change aims to clarify the entities that are authorized to install and use tracking equipment and access certain communications under Texas law.
