| 9 | 9 | BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS: | |
| 10 | 10 | SECTION 1. Subchapter D, Chapter 508, Government Code, is | |

| 14 | 14 | for the operation of a facility to house releasees must include a | |
| 15 | 15 | provision that: | |
| 16 | 16 | (1) requires the department to provide a written | |
| 17 | 17 | warning to the vendor not later than the 15th day following the end | |

| 21 | 21 | contract on the second fiscal quarter in which the vendor has 10 or | |
| 22 | 22 | more instances of noncompliance during a three-year period. | |
