Texas SB2067 exempts information about the next of kin of deceased persons from public disclosure.

Texas SB2067 amends the Code of Criminal Procedure to exempt information about the next of kin of deceased persons from required public disclosure. This exemption aligns with Chapter 552 of the Government Code but allows for disclosure under subpoena or other legal authority. The change applies to requests received after the act's effective date, with earlier requests governed by existing law. The act can take effect immediately with a two-thirds vote in both legislative houses, otherwise it will become effective September 1, 2025.
