On Tuesday HB 1389, a bill that would allow judges to sentence defendants who are primary caretakers to community supervision or deferred adjudication, passed out of the House and is now in the Texas Senate.
What this bill allows for is a kind of probation that would let a conviction be dropped if an individual completes the program. This legislation helps to keep families together.
Contact your Senator and tell them you hope they'll join you in supporting HB 1389 as it makes it's way through the Senate!
Let's work to keep families together so we can better serve primary caretakers who enter the criminal justice system as well as their children.
