665 | 665 | | Art. 66.201. REMOVING REGISTRATION INFORMATION WHEN DUTY TO |
---|
666 | 666 | | REGISTER EXPIRES. (a) When a person is no longer required to |
---|
667 | 667 | | register under this chapter, the department shall remove all |
---|
668 | 668 | | information about the person from the DWI offender registry. |
---|
669 | 669 | | (b) The duty to remove information under Subsection (a) |
---|
670 | 670 | | arises if: |
---|
671 | 671 | | (1) the department has received notice from a local |
---|
672 | 672 | | law enforcement authority under Subsection (c) or (d) that the |
---|
673 | 673 | | person is no longer required to register or will no longer be |

674 | 674 | | required to renew registration and the department verifies the |

675 | 675 | | correctness of that information; |

676 | 676 | | (2) the court having jurisdiction over the case for |
---|
677 | 677 | | which registration is required requests removal and the department |

680 | 680 | | removal and the department determines that the duty to register has |
---|

---|
683 | 683 | | appears before a local law enforcement authority to renew or modify |
---|
684 | 684 | | registration information, the authority shall determine whether |
---|
685 | 685 | | the duty to register has expired. If the authority determines that |
---|
686 | 686 | | the duty to register has expired, the authority shall remove all |
---|
687 | 687 | | information about the person from the DWI offender registry and |

---|
691 | 691 | | appears before a local law enforcement authority to renew |

---|
693 | 693 | | the renewal is the final annual renewal of registration required by |
---|
694 | 694 | | law. If the authority determines that the person's duty to register |
---|
695 | 695 | | will expire before the next annual renewal is scheduled, the |
---|
696 | 696 | | authority shall automatically remove all information about the |

---|
702 | 702 | | enforcement authorities that have provided registration |
---|
703 | 703 | | information to the department about the person of the removal. A |

705 | 705 | | department under this subsection shall remove all registration |
---|
706 | 706 | | information about the person from its registry. |

---|
708 | 708 | | Subsection (a), the department shall notify all public and private |
---|

---|
711 | 711 | | the public or private agency or organization shall remove all |
---|
712 | 712 | | registration information about the person from any registry the |
---|

717 | 717 | | Art. 66.251. MOTION AND HEARING GENERALLY. (a) During or |
---|
718 | 718 | | after disposition of a case under Section 54.04, Family Code, for |
---|
719 | 719 | | adjudication of an offense for which registration is required under |
---|
720 | 720 | | this chapter, the juvenile court on motion of the respondent shall |
---|
721 | 721 | | conduct a hearing to determine whether the interests of the public |
---|
722 | 722 | | require registration under this chapter. The motion may be filed |
---|
723 | 723 | | and the hearing held regardless of whether the respondent is under |
---|
724 | 724 | | 18 years of age. Notice of the motion and hearing shall be provided |
---|
725 | 725 | | to the prosecuting attorney. |
---|
726 | 726 | | (b) The hearing is without a jury and the burden of |
---|
727 | 727 | | persuasion is on the respondent to show by a preponderance of |
---|
728 | 728 | | evidence that the criteria of Article 66.252(a) have been met. The |
---|
729 | 729 | | court at the hearing may make its determination based on: |
---|
730 | 730 | | (1) the receipt of exhibits; |
---|
731 | 731 | | (2) the testimony of witnesses; |
---|
732 | 732 | | (3) representations of counsel for the parties; or |
---|
733 | 733 | | (4) the contents of a substance abuse report prepared |
---|
734 | 734 | | by the juvenile probation department that may include the results |
---|
735 | 735 | | of testing and examination of the respondent by a psychologist, |
---|
736 | 736 | | psychiatrist, or counselor. |
---|
737 | 737 | | (c) All written matter considered by the court shall be |
---|
738 | 738 | | disclosed to all parties as provided by Section 54.04(b), Family |
---|
739 | 739 | | Code. |
---|
740 | 740 | | (d) If a respondent, as part of a plea agreement, promises |
---|
741 | 741 | | not to file a motion seeking an order exempting the respondent from |
---|
742 | 742 | | registration under this chapter, the court may not recognize a |
---|
743 | 743 | | motion filed by a respondent under this article. |
---|
744 | 744 | | Art. 66.252. ORDER GENERALLY. (a) The court shall enter an |
---|
745 | 745 | | order exempting a respondent from registration under this chapter |
---|
746 | 746 | | if the court determines: |
---|
747 | 747 | | (1) that the protection of the public would not be |
---|
748 | 748 | | increased by registration of the respondent under this chapter; or |
---|
749 | 749 | | (2) that any potential increase in protection of the |
---|
750 | 750 | | public resulting from registration of the respondent is clearly |
---|
751 | 751 | | outweighed by the anticipated substantial harm to the respondent |
---|
752 | 752 | | and the respondent's family that would result from registration |
---|
753 | 753 | | under this chapter. |
---|
754 | 754 | | (b) After a hearing under Article 66.251 or under a plea |
---|
755 | 755 | | agreement described by Article 66.255(b), the juvenile court may |
---|
756 | 756 | | enter an order: |
---|
757 | 757 | | (1) deferring decision on requiring registration |
---|
758 | 758 | | under this chapter until the respondent has completed substance |
---|
759 | 759 | | abuse treatment as a condition of probation or while committed to |
---|
760 | 760 | | the Texas Youth Commission; or |
---|
761 | 761 | | (2) requiring the respondent to register as a DWI |
---|
762 | 762 | | offender but providing that the registration information is not |
---|
763 | 763 | | public information and is restricted to use by law enforcement and |
---|
764 | 764 | | criminal justice agencies. |
---|
765 | 765 | | (c) If the court enters an order described by Subsection |
---|
766 | 766 | | (b)(1), the court retains discretion and jurisdiction to require, |
---|
767 | 767 | | or exempt the respondent from, registration under this chapter at |
---|
768 | 768 | | any time during the treatment or on the successful or unsuccessful |
---|
769 | 769 | | completion of treatment, except that during the period of deferral, |
---|
770 | 770 | | registration may not be required. Following successful completion |
---|
771 | 771 | | of treatment, the respondent is exempted from registration under |
---|
772 | 772 | | this chapter unless a hearing under this subchapter is held on |
---|
773 | 773 | | motion of the state, regardless of whether the respondent is 18 |
---|
774 | 774 | | years of age or older, and the court determines the interests of the |
---|
775 | 775 | | public require registration. Not later than the 10th day after the |
---|
776 | 776 | | date of the respondent's successful completion of treatment, the |
---|
777 | 777 | | treatment provider shall notify the juvenile court and prosecuting |
---|
778 | 778 | | attorney of the completion. |
---|
779 | 779 | | (d) Information that is the subject of an order described by |
---|
780 | 780 | | Subsection (b)(2) may not be posted on the Internet or released to |
---|
781 | 781 | | the public. |

---|
788 | 788 | | (1) exemption from registration under this chapter as |

---|
794 | 794 | | time of filing the motion, is 18 years of age or older. Notice of |
---|
795 | 795 | | the motion shall be provided to the prosecuting attorney. A |
---|
796 | 796 | | hearing on the motion shall be provided as in other cases under this |
---|
797 | 797 | | subchapter. |
---|
798 | 798 | | (c) Only one subsequent motion may be filed under Subsection |
---|
799 | 799 | | (a) if a previous motion under this article has been filed |
---|
800 | 800 | | concerning the case. |
---|
801 | 801 | | (d) To the extent feasible, the motion under Subsection (a) |
---|
802 | 802 | | shall identify those public and private agencies and organizations |
