Texas SB2580 amends the definition of a designated law enforcement office or agency for tracking equipment and communications access.

Texas SB2580 modifies the Code of Criminal Procedure to redefine a designated law enforcement office or agency. It specifies that such agencies include 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. This change affects the scope of agencies authorized to install and use tracking equipment and access certain communications.
