SB1549 amends the frequency of county bail bond board meetings in Texas.

SB1549 amends the Texas Occupations Code to change the meeting frequency for county bail bond boards. Generally, boards must meet at least once a month. However, in counties with a population under 1.3 million and containing a municipality with a population of 750,000 or more, boards must meet at least six times each year during specific months. If a board does not act on a renewal application, the current license remains valid until the next meeting. The act takes effect July 1, 2025, or September 1, 2025, depending on legislative approval.
