   involving certain prohibited or dangerous substances, to the effect
   of certain convictions and acquittals, and to the civil

         BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:
                                ARTICLE 1
         SECTION 1.01.  The Penal Code is amended to read as follows:
                    TITLE 1.  INTRODUCTORY PROVISIONS
                     CHAPTER 1.  GENERAL PROVISIONS
         Sec. 1.01.  SHORT TITLE.  This code shall be known and may be
   cited as the Penal Code.
         Sec. 1.02.  Objectives of Code.  The general purposes of this
   code are to establish a system of prohibitions, penalties, and
   correctional measures to deal with conduct that unjustifiably and
   inexcusably causes or threatens harm to those individual or public
   interests for which state protection is appropriate.  To this end,
   the provisions of this code are intended, and shall be construed,
   to achieve the following objectives:
               (1)  to insure the public safety through:
                     (A)  the deterrent influence of the penalties
   hereinafter provided;
                     (B)  the rehabilitation of those convicted of
   violations of this code; and
                     (C)  such punishment as may be necessary to
   prevent likely recurrence of criminal behavior;
               (2)  by definition and grading of offenses to give fair
   warning of what is prohibited and of the consequences of violation;
               (3)  to prescribe penalties that are proportionate to
   the seriousness of offenses and that permit recognition of
   differences in rehabilitation possibilities among individual
   offenders;
               (4)  to safeguard conduct that is without guilt from
   condemnation as criminal;
               (5)  to guide and limit the exercise of official
   discretion in law enforcement to prevent arbitrary or oppressive
   treatment of persons ^ususpected,^w accused^u,^w or convicted of offenses;
   and
               (6)  to define the scope of state interest in law
   enforcement against specific offenses and to systematize the
   exercise of state criminal jurisdiction.
         Sec. 1.03.  Effect of Code.  (a)  Conduct does not constitute
   an offense unless it is defined as an offense by statute, municipal
   ordinance, order of a county commissioners court, or rule
   authorized by and lawfully adopted under a statute.
         (b)  The provisions of Titles 1, 2, and 3 ^sof this code^t
   apply to offenses defined by other laws, unless the statute
   defining the offense provides otherwise; however, the punishment
   affixed to an offense defined outside this code shall be applicable

   unless the punishment is classified in accordance with this code.
         (c)  This code does not bar, suspend, or otherwise affect a
   right or liability to damages, penalty, forfeiture, or other remedy
   authorized by law to be recovered or enforced in a civil suit for
   conduct this code defines as an offense, and the civil injury is
   not merged in the offense.
         Sec. 1.04.  Territorial Jurisdiction.  (a)  This state has
   jurisdiction over an offense that a person commits by his own
   conduct or the conduct of another for which he is criminally
   responsible if:
               (1)  either the conduct or a result that is an element
   of the offense occurs inside this state;
               (2)  the conduct outside this state constitutes an
   attempt to commit an offense inside this state;
               (3)  the conduct outside this state constitutes a
   conspiracy to commit an offense inside this state, and an act in
   furtherance of the conspiracy occurs inside this state; or
               (4)  the conduct inside this state constitutes an
   attempt, solicitation, or conspiracy to commit, or establishes
   criminal responsibility for the commission of, an offense in
   another jurisdiction that is also an offense under the laws of this
   state.
         (b)  If the offense is criminal homicide, a "result" is
   either the physical impact causing death or the death itself.  If
   the body of a criminal homicide victim is found in this state, it
   is presumed that the death occurred in this state.  If death alone
   is the basis for jurisdiction, it is a defense to the exercise of
   jurisdiction by this state that the conduct that constitutes the
   offense is not made criminal in the jurisdiction where the conduct
   occurred.
         (c)  An offense based on an omission to perform a duty
   imposed on an actor by a statute of this state is committed inside
   this state regardless of the location of the actor at the time of
   the offense.
         (d)  This state includes the land and water ^s(^tand the air
   space above the land and water^s)^t over which this state has power
   to define offenses.
         Sec. 1.05.  Construction of Code.  (a)  The rule that a penal
   statute is to be strictly construed does not apply to this code.
   The provisions of this code shall be construed according to the
   fair import of their terms, to promote justice and effect the
   objectives of the code.
         (b)  Unless a different construction is required by the
   context, Sections 311.011, 311.012, 311.014, 311.015, and 311.021
   through 311.032 of ^sthe Code Construction Act (^tChapter 311,

         (c)  This section does not affect exceptions applicable to
   offenses enacted prior to the effective date of this code.
         Sec. 2.03.  DEFENSE.  (a)  A defense to prosecution for an
   offense in this code is so labeled by the phrase:  "It is a defense
   to prosecution . . . ."
         (b)  The prosecuting attorney is not required to negate the
   existence of a defense in the accusation charging commission of the
   offense.
         (c)  The issue of the existence of a defense is not submitted
   to the jury unless evidence is admitted supporting the defense.
         (d)  If the issue of the existence of a defense is submitted
   to the jury, the court shall charge that a reasonable doubt on the
   issue requires that the defendant be acquitted.
         (e)  A ground of defense in a penal law that is not plainly
   labeled in accordance with this chapter has the procedural and
   evidentiary consequences of a defense.
         Sec. 2.04.  AFFIRMATIVE DEFENSE.  (a)  An affirmative defense
   in this code is so labeled by the phrase:  "It is an affirmative
   defense to prosecution . . . ."
         (b)  The prosecuting attorney is not required to negate the
   existence of an affirmative defense in the accusation charging
   commission of the offense.
         (c)  The issue of the existence of an affirmative defense is
   not submitted to the jury unless evidence is admitted supporting
   the defense.
         (d)  If the issue of the existence of an affirmative defense
   is submitted to the jury, the court shall charge that the defendant
   must prove the affirmative defense by a preponderance of evidence.
         Sec. 2.05.  PRESUMPTION.  When this code or another penal law
   establishes a presumption with respect to any fact, it has the
   following consequences:
               (1)  if there is sufficient evidence of the facts that
   give rise to the presumption, the issue of the existence of the
   presumed fact must be submitted to the jury, unless the court is
   satisfied that the evidence as a whole clearly precludes a finding
   beyond a reasonable doubt of the presumed fact; and
               (2)  if the existence of the presumed fact is submitted
   to the jury, the court shall charge the jury, in terms of the
   presumption and the specific element to which it applies, as
   follows:
                     (A)  that the facts giving rise to the
   presumption must be proven beyond a reasonable doubt;
                     (B)  that if such facts are proven beyond a
   reasonable doubt the jury may find that the element of the offense
   sought to be presumed exists, but it is not bound to so find;
                     (C)  that even though the jury may find the
   existence of such element, the state must prove beyond a reasonable
   doubt each of the other elements of the offense charged; and
                     (D)  if the jury has a reasonable doubt as to the
   existence of a fact or facts giving rise to the presumption, the
   presumption fails and the jury shall not consider the presumption
   for any purpose.

         Sec. 3.01.  DEFINITION.  In this chapter, "criminal episode"
   means the commission of two or more offenses, regardless of whether
   the harm is directed toward or inflicted upon more than one person
   or item of property, under the following circumstances:
               (1)  the offenses are committed pursuant to the same
   transaction or pursuant to two or more transactions that are
   connected or constitute a common scheme or plan; or
               (2)  the offenses are the repeated commission of the
   same or similar offenses.
         Sec. 3.02.  CONSOLIDATION AND JOINDER OF PROSECUTIONS.
   (a)  A defendant may be prosecuted in a single criminal action for
   all offenses arising out of the same criminal episode.
         (b)  When a single criminal action is based on more than one
   charging instrument within the jurisdiction of the trial court, the
   state shall file written notice of the action not less than 30 days
   prior to the trial.
         (c)  If a judgment of guilt is reversed, set aside, or
   vacated, and a new trial ordered, the state may not prosecute in a
   single criminal action in the new trial any offense not joined in
   the former prosecution unless evidence to establish probable guilt
   for that offense was not known to the appropriate prosecuting
   official at the time the first prosecution commenced.
         Sec. 3.03.  Sentences for Offenses Arising Out of Same
   Criminal Episode.  When the accused is found guilty of more than
   one offense arising out of the same criminal episode prosecuted in
   a single criminal action, sentence for each offense for which he
   has been found guilty shall be pronounced.  Such sentences shall
   run concurrently.
         Sec. 3.04.  Severance.  (a)  Whenever two or more offenses
   have been consolidated or joined for trial under Section 3.02 ^sof^t
   ^sthis code^t, the defendant shall have a right to a severance of the
   offenses.
         (b)  In the event of severance under this section, the
   provisions of Section 3.03 ^sof this code^t do not apply, and the
   court in its discretion may order the sentences to run either
   concurrently or consecutively.
         TITLE 2.  GENERAL PRINCIPLES OF CRIMINAL RESPONSIBILITY
                    CHAPTER 6.  CULPABILITY GENERALLY
         Sec. 6.01.  Requirement of Voluntary Act or Omission.  (a)  A
   person commits an offense only if he voluntarily engages in
   conduct, including an act, an omission, or possession.
         (b)  Possession is a voluntary act if the possessor knowingly
   obtains or receives the thing possessed or is aware of his control
   of the thing for a sufficient time to permit him to terminate his
   control.
         (c)  A person who omits to perform an act does not commit an
   offense unless a law as defined by Section 1.07 ^sof this code^t
   provides that the omission is an offense or otherwise provides that
   he has a duty to perform the act.
         Sec. 6.02.  Requirement of Culpability.  (a)  Except as
   provided in Subsection (b) ^sof this section^t, a person does not
   commit an offense unless he intentionally, knowingly, recklessly,
   or with criminal negligence engages in conduct as the definition of
1

   the offense requires.
         (b)  If the definition of an offense does not prescribe a
   culpable mental state, a culpable mental state is nevertheless
   required unless the definition plainly dispenses with any mental
   element.
         (c)  If the definition of an offense does not prescribe a
   culpable mental state, but one is nevertheless required under
   Subsection (b) ^sof this section^t, intent, knowledge, or
   recklessness suffices to establish criminal responsibility.
         (d)  Culpable mental states are classified according to
   relative degrees, from highest to lowest, as follows:
               (1)  intentional;
               (2)  knowing;
               (3)  reckless;
               (4)  criminal negligence.
         (e)  Proof of a higher degree of culpability than that
   charged constitutes proof of the culpability charged.
         Sec. 6.03.  Definitions of Culpable Mental States.  (a)  A
   person acts intentionally, or with intent, with respect to the
   nature of his conduct or to a result of his conduct when it is his
   conscious objective or desire to engage in the conduct or cause the
   result.
         (b)  A person acts knowingly, or with knowledge, with respect
   to the nature of his conduct or to circumstances surrounding his
   conduct when he is aware of the nature of his conduct or that the
   circumstances exist.  A person acts knowingly, or with knowledge,
   with respect to a result of his conduct when he is aware that his
   conduct is reasonably certain to cause the result.
         (c)  A person acts recklessly, or is reckless, with respect
   to circumstances surrounding his conduct or the result of his
   conduct when he is aware of but consciously disregards a
   substantial and unjustifiable risk that the circumstances exist or
   the result will occur.  The risk must be of such a nature and
   degree that its disregard constitutes a gross deviation from the
   standard of care that an ordinary person would exercise under all
   the circumstances as viewed from the actor's standpoint.
         (d)  A person acts with criminal negligence, or is criminally
   negligent, with respect to circumstances surrounding his conduct or
   the result of his conduct when he ought to be aware of a
   substantial and unjustifiable risk that the circumstances exist or
   the result will occur.  The risk must be of such a nature and
   degree that the failure to perceive it constitutes a gross
   deviation from the standard of care that an ordinary person would
   exercise under all the circumstances as viewed from the actor's
   standpoint.
         Sec. 6.04.  Causation:  Conduct and Results.  (a)  A person
   is criminally responsible if the result would not have occurred but
   for his conduct, operating either alone or concurrently with
   another cause, unless the concurrent cause was clearly sufficient
   to produce the result and the conduct of the actor clearly
   insufficient.
         (b)  A person is nevertheless criminally responsible for
   causing a result if the only difference between what actually

   occurred and what he desired, contemplated, or risked is that:
               (1)  a different offense was committed; or
               (2)  a different person or property was injured,
   harmed, or otherwise affected.
       CHAPTER 7.  CRIMINAL RESPONSIBILITY FOR CONDUCT OF ANOTHER
                        SUBCHAPTER A.  COMPLICITY
         Sec. 7.01.  Parties to Offenses.  (a)  A person is criminally
   responsible as a party to an offense if the offense is committed by
   his own conduct, by the conduct of another for which he is
   criminally responsible, or by both.
         (b)  Each party to an offense may be charged with commission
   of the offense.
         (c)  All traditional distinctions between accomplices and
   principals are abolished by this section, and each party to an
   offense may be charged and convicted without alleging that he acted
   as a principal or accomplice.
         Sec. 7.02.  Criminal Responsibility for Conduct of Another.
   (a)  A person is criminally responsible for an offense committed by
   the conduct of another if:
               (1)  acting with the kind of culpability required for
   the offense, he causes or aids an innocent or nonresponsible person
   to engage in conduct prohibited by the definition of the offense;
               (2)  acting with intent to promote or assist the
   commission of the offense, he solicits, encourages, directs, aids,
   or attempts to aid the other person to commit the offense; or
               (3)  having a legal duty to prevent commission of the
   offense and acting with intent to promote or assist its commission,
   he fails to make a reasonable effort to prevent commission of the
   offense.
         (b)  If, in the attempt to carry out a conspiracy to commit
   one felony, another felony is committed by one of the conspirators,
   all conspirators are guilty of the felony actually committed,
   though having no intent to commit it, if the offense was committed
   in furtherance of the unlawful purpose and was one that should have
   been anticipated as a result of the carrying out of the conspiracy.
         Sec. 7.03.  Defenses Excluded.  In a prosecution in which an
   actor's criminal responsibility is based on the conduct of another,
   the actor may be convicted on proof of commission of the offense
   and that he was a party to its commission, and it is no defense:
               (1)  that the actor belongs to a class of persons that
   by definition of the offense is legally incapable of committing the
   offense in an individual capacity; or
               (2)  that the person for whose conduct the actor is
   criminally responsible has been acquitted, has not been prosecuted
   or convicted, has been convicted of a different offense or of a
   different type or class of offense, or is immune from prosecution.
             (Sections 7.04 to 7.20 reserved for expansion)
              SUBCHAPTER B.  CORPORATIONS AND ASSOCIATIONS
         Sec. 7.21.  Definitions.  In this subchapter:
               (1)  "Agent" means a director, officer, employee, or
   other person authorized to act in behalf of a corporation or
   association.
               (2)  "High managerial agent" means:

                     (A)  a partner in a partnership;
                     (B)  an officer of a corporation or association;
                     (C)  an agent of a corporation or association who
   has duties of such responsibility that his conduct reasonably may
   be assumed to represent the policy of the corporation or
   association.
         Sec. 7.22.  Criminal Responsibility of Corporation or
   Association.  (a)  If conduct constituting an offense is performed
   by an agent acting in behalf of a corporation or association and
   within the scope of his office or employment, the corporation or
   association is criminally responsible for an offense defined:
               (1)  in this code where corporations and associations
   are made subject thereto;
               (2)  by law other than this code in which a legislative
   purpose to impose criminal responsibility on corporations or
   associations plainly appears; or
               (3)  by law other than this code for which strict
   liability is imposed, unless a legislative purpose not to impose
   criminal responsibility on corporations or associations plainly
   appears.
         (b)  A corporation or association is criminally responsible
   for a felony offense only if its commission was authorized,
   requested, commanded, performed, or recklessly tolerated by:
               (1)  a majority of the governing board acting in behalf
   of the corporation or association; or
               (2)  a high managerial agent acting in behalf of the
   corporation or association and within the scope of his office or
   employment.
         Sec. 7.23.  Criminal Responsibility of Person for Conduct in
   Behalf of Corporation or Association.  (a)  An individual is
   criminally responsible for conduct that he performs in the name of
   or in behalf of a corporation or association to the same extent as
   if the conduct were performed in his own name or behalf.
         (b)  An agent having primary responsibility for the discharge
   of a duty to act imposed by law on a corporation or association is
   criminally responsible for omission to discharge the duty to the
   same extent as if the duty were imposed by law directly on him.
         (c)  If an individual is convicted of conduct constituting an
   offense performed in the name of or on behalf of a corporation or
   association, he is subject to the sentence authorized by law for an
   individual convicted of the offense.
         Sec. 7.24.  Defense to Criminal Responsibility of Corporation
   or Association.  It is an affirmative defense to prosecution of a
   corporation or association under Section 7.22(a)(1) or (a)(2) ^sof^t
   ^sthis code^t that the high managerial agent having supervisory
   responsibility over the subject matter of the offense employed due
   diligence to prevent its commission.
         CHAPTER 8.  GENERAL DEFENSES TO CRIMINAL RESPONSIBILITY
         Sec. 8.01.  INSANITY.  (a)  It is an affirmative defense to
   prosecution that, at the time of the conduct charged, the actor, as
   a result of severe mental disease or defect, did not know that his
   conduct was wrong.
         (b)  The term "mental disease or defect" does not include an

   abnormality manifested only by repeated criminal or otherwise
   antisocial conduct.
         Sec. 8.02.  MISTAKE OF FACT.  (a)  It is a defense to
   prosecution that the actor through mistake formed a reasonable
   belief about a matter of fact if his mistaken belief negated the
   kind of culpability required for commission of the offense.
         (b)  Although an actor's mistake of fact may constitute a
   defense to the offense charged, he may nevertheless be convicted of
   any lesser included offense of which he would be guilty if the fact
   were as he believed.
         Sec. 8.03.  MISTAKE OF LAW.  (a)  It is no defense to
   prosecution that the actor was ignorant of the provisions of any
   law after the law has taken effect.
         (b)  It is an affirmative defense to prosecution that the
   actor reasonably believed the conduct charged did not constitute a
   crime and that he acted in reasonable reliance upon:
               (1)  an official statement of the law contained in a
   written order or grant of permission by an administrative agency
   charged by law with responsibility for interpreting the law in
   question; or
               (2)  a written interpretation of the law contained in
   an opinion of a court of record or made by a public official
   charged by law with responsibility for interpreting the law in
   question.
         (c)  Although an actor's mistake of law may constitute a
   defense to the offense charged, he may nevertheless be convicted of
   a lesser included offense of which he would be guilty if the law
   were as he believed.
         Sec. 8.04.  INTOXICATION.  (a)  Voluntary intoxication does
   not constitute a defense to the commission of crime.
         (b)  Evidence of temporary insanity caused by intoxication
   may be introduced by the actor in mitigation of the penalty
   attached to the offense for which he is being tried.
         (c)  When temporary insanity is relied upon as a defense and
   the evidence tends to show that such insanity was caused by
   intoxication, the court shall charge the jury in accordance with
   the provisions of this section.
         (d)  For purposes of this section "intoxication" means
   disturbance of mental or physical capacity resulting from the
   introduction of any substance into the body.
         Sec. 8.05.  DURESS.  (a)  It is an affirmative defense to
   prosecution that the actor engaged in the proscribed conduct
   because he was compelled to do so by threat of imminent death or
   serious bodily injury to himself or another.
         (b)  In a prosecution for an offense that does not constitute
   a felony, it is an affirmative defense to prosecution that the
   actor engaged in the proscribed conduct because he was compelled to
   do so by force or threat of force.
         (c)  Compulsion within the meaning of this section exists
   only if the force or threat of force would render a person of
   reasonable firmness incapable of resisting the pressure.
         (d)  The defense provided by this section is unavailable if
   the actor intentionally, knowingly, or recklessly placed himself in

   a situation in which it was probable that he would be subjected to
   compulsion.
         (e)  It is no defense that a person acted at the command or
   persuasion of his spouse, unless he acted under compulsion that
   would establish a defense under this section.
         Sec. 8.06.  ENTRAPMENT.  (a)  It is a defense to prosecution
   that the actor engaged in the conduct charged because he was
   induced to do so by a law enforcement agent using persuasion or
   other means likely to cause persons to commit the offense.  Conduct
   merely affording a person an opportunity to commit an offense does
   not constitute entrapment.
         (b)  In this section "law enforcement agent" includes
   personnel of the state and local law enforcement agencies as well
   as of the United States and any person acting in accordance with
   instructions from such agents.
         Sec. 8.07.  AGE AFFECTING CRIMINAL RESPONSIBILITY.  (a)  A
   person may not be prosecuted for or convicted of any offense that
   he committed when younger than 15 years of age except:
               (1)  perjury and aggravated perjury when it appears by
   proof that he had sufficient discretion to understand the nature
   and obligation of an oath;
               (2)  a violation of a penal statute cognizable under
   Chapter 302, Acts of the 55th Legislature, Regular Session, 1957^s,^t
   ^sas amended^t (Article 6701l-4, Vernon's Texas Civil Statutes),
   except conduct which violates the laws of this state prohibiting
   driving while intoxicated or under the influence of intoxicating
   liquor (first or subsequent offense) or driving while under the
   influence of any narcotic drug or of any other drug to a degree
   which renders him incapable of safely driving a vehicle (first or
   subsequent offense);
               (3)  a violation of a motor vehicle traffic ordinance
   of an incorporated city or town in this state;
               (4)  a misdemeanor punishable by fine only other than
   public intoxication; or
               (5)  a violation of a penal ordinance of a political
   subdivision.
         (b)  Unless the juvenile court waives jurisdiction and
   certifies the individual for criminal prosecution, a person may not
   be prosecuted for or convicted of any offense committed before
   reaching 17 years of age except:
               (1)  perjury and aggravated perjury when it appears by
   proof that he had sufficient discretion to understand the nature
   and obligation of an oath;
               (2)  a violation of a penal statute cognizable under

               (4)  a misdemeanor punishable by fine only other than
   public intoxication; or
               (5)  a violation of a penal ordinance of a political
   subdivision.
         (c)  Unless the juvenile court waives jurisdiction and
   certifies the individual for criminal prosecution, a person who has
   been alleged in a petition for an adjudication hearing to have
   engaged in delinquent conduct or conduct indicating a need for
   supervision may not be prosecuted for or convicted of any offense
   alleged in the juvenile court petition or any offense within the
   knowledge of the juvenile court judge as evidenced by anything in

       CHAPTER 9.  JUSTIFICATION EXCLUDING CRIMINAL RESPONSIBILITY
                    SUBCHAPTER A.  GENERAL PROVISIONS
         Sec. 9.01.  DEFINITIONS.  In this chapter:
               (1)  "Custody" means:
                     (A)  under arrest by a peace officer; or
                     (B)  under restraint by a public servant pursuant
   to an order of a court.
               (2)  "Escape" means unauthorized departure from custody
   or failure to return to custody following temporary leave for a
   specific purpose or limited period, but does not include a
   violation of conditions of ^ucommunity supervision^w ^sprobation^t or
   parole^u, or following leave that is part of an intermittent^w
   ^usentence^w.
               (3)  "Deadly force" means force that is intended or
   known by the actor to cause, or in the manner of its use or
   intended use is capable of causing, death or serious bodily injury.
         Sec. 9.02.  JUSTIFICATION AS A DEFENSE.  It is a defense to
   prosecution that the conduct in question is justified under this
   chapter.
         Sec. 9.03.  CONFINEMENT AS JUSTIFIABLE FORCE.  Confinement is
   justified when force is justified by this chapter if the actor
   takes reasonable measures to terminate the confinement as soon as
   he knows he safely can unless the person confined has been arrested
   for an offense.
         Sec. 9.04.  THREATS AS JUSTIFIABLE FORCE.  The threat of
   force is justified when the use of force is justified by this
   chapter.  For purposes of this section, a threat to cause death or
   serious bodily injury by the production of a weapon or otherwise,
   as long as the actor's purpose is limited to creating an
   apprehension that he will use deadly force if necessary, does not
   constitute the use of deadly force.
         Sec. 9.05.  RECKLESS INJURY OF INNOCENT THIRD PERSON.  Even
   though an actor is justified under this chapter in threatening or
   using force or deadly force against another, if in doing so he also
   recklessly injures or kills an innocent third person, the
   justification afforded by this chapter is unavailable in a
   prosecution for the reckless injury or killing of the innocent
   third person.

         Sec. 9.06.  CIVIL REMEDIES UNAFFECTED.  The fact that conduct
   is justified under this chapter does not abolish or impair any
   remedy for the conduct that is available in a civil suit.
             (Sections 9.07 to 9.20 reserved for expansion)
                 SUBCHAPTER B.  JUSTIFICATION GENERALLY
         Sec. 9.21.  PUBLIC DUTY.  (a)  Except as qualified by
   Subsections (b) and (c) ^sof this section^t, conduct is justified if
   the actor reasonably believes the conduct is required or authorized
   by law, by the judgment or order of a competent court or other
   governmental tribunal, or in the execution of legal process.
         (b)  The other sections of this chapter control when force is
   used against a person to protect persons (Subchapter C), to protect
   property (Subchapter D), for law enforcement (Subchapter E), or by
   virtue of a special relationship (Subchapter F).
         (c)  The use of deadly force is not justified under this
   section unless the actor reasonably believes the deadly force is
   specifically required by statute or unless it occurs in the lawful
   conduct of war.  If deadly force is so justified, there is no duty
   to retreat before using it.
         (d)  The justification afforded by this section is available
   if the actor reasonably believes:
               (1)  the court or governmental tribunal has
   jurisdiction or the process is lawful, even though the court or
   governmental tribunal lacks jurisdiction or the process is
   unlawful; or
               (2)  his conduct is required or authorized to assist a
   public servant in the performance of his official duty, even though
   the servant exceeds his lawful authority.
         Sec. 9.22.  NECESSITY.  Conduct is justified if:
               (1)  the actor reasonably believes the conduct is
   immediately necessary to avoid imminent harm;
               (2)  the desirability and urgency of avoiding the harm
   clearly outweigh, according to ordinary standards of
   reasonableness, the harm sought to be prevented by the law
   ^uproscribing^w ^sprescribing^t the conduct; and
               (3)  a legislative purpose to exclude the justification
   claimed for the conduct does not otherwise plainly appear.
             (Sections 9.23 to 9.30 reserved for expansion)
                  SUBCHAPTER C.  PROTECTION OF PERSONS
         Sec. 9.31.  SELF-DEFENSE.  (a)  Except as provided in
   Subsection (b) ^sof this section^t, a person is justified in using
   force against another when and to the degree he reasonably believes
   the force is immediately necessary to protect himself against the
   other's use or attempted use of unlawful force.
         (b)  The use of force against another is not justified:
               (1)  in response to verbal provocation alone;
               (2)  to resist an arrest or search that the actor knows
   is being made by a peace officer, or by a person acting in a peace
   officer's presence and at his direction, even though the arrest or
   search is unlawful, unless the resistance is justified under
   Subsection (c) ^sof this section^t;
               (3)  if the actor consented to the exact force used or
   attempted by the other; ^sor^t

               (4)  if the actor provoked the other's use or attempted
   use of unlawful force, unless:
                     (A)  the actor abandons the encounter, or clearly
   communicates to the other his intent to do so reasonably believing
   he cannot safely abandon the encounter; and
                     (B)  the other nevertheless continues or attempts
   to use unlawful force against the actor^u; or^w

   ^udiscussion with the other person concerning the actor's differences^w
   ^uwith the other person while the actor was carrying a weapon in^w
   ^uviolation of Section 46.02^w.
         (c)  The use of force to resist an arrest or search is
   justified:
               (1)  if, before the actor offers any resistance, the
   peace officer (or person acting at his direction) uses or attempts
   to use greater force than necessary to make the arrest or search;
   and
               (2)  when and to the degree the actor reasonably
   believes the force is immediately necessary to protect himself
   against the peace officer's (or other person's) use or attempted
   use of greater force than necessary.
         (d)  The use of deadly force is not justified under this
   subchapter except as provided in Sections 9.32, 9.33, and 9.34 ^sof^t
   ^sthis code^t.
         Sec. 9.32.  DEADLY FORCE IN DEFENSE OF PERSON.  A person is
   justified in using deadly force against another:
               (1)  if he would be justified in using force against
   the other under Section 9.31 ^sof this code^t;
               (2)  if a reasonable person in the actor's situation
   would not have retreated; and
               (3)  when and to the degree he reasonably believes the
   deadly force is immediately necessary:
                     (A)  to protect himself against the other's use

                     (B)  to prevent the other's imminent commission
   of aggravated kidnapping, murder, sexual assault, aggravated sexual
   assault, robbery, or aggravated robbery.
         Sec. 9.33.  DEFENSE OF THIRD PERSON.  A person is justified
   in using force or deadly force against another to protect a third
   person if:
               (1)  under the circumstances as the actor reasonably
   believes them to be, the actor would be justified under Section
   9.31 or 9.32 ^sof this code^t in using force or deadly force to
   protect himself against the unlawful force or unlawful deadly force
   he reasonably believes to be threatening the third person he seeks
   to protect; and
               (2)  the actor reasonably believes that his
   intervention is immediately necessary to protect the third person.

   prevent or terminate the other's trespass on the land or unlawful
   interference with the property.
         (b)  A person unlawfully dispossessed of land or tangible,
   movable property by another is justified in using force against the

   offense against the public peace for which arrest is authorized
   included the use or attempted use of deadly force; or
               (2)  the actor reasonably believes there is a
   substantial risk that the person to be arrested will cause death or
   serious bodily injury to another if the arrest is delayed.

   ^uand the jury enters in the verdict a finding that the information^w
   ^uin the defendant's motion is true.^w  ^sWhen there is a felony^t
   ^sconviction in any court of this State and the punishment assessed^t
   ^sby the jury shall not exceed ten years, the jury may recommend^t
   ^sprobation for a period of any term of years authorized for the^t
   ^soffense for which the defendant was convicted, but in no event for^t

         Sec. 5.  Deferred Adjudication^u; Community Supervision^w.
   (a)  Except as provided by Subsection (d) of this section, when in
   ^uthe judge's^w ^sits^t opinion the best interest of society and the
   defendant will be served, the ^ujudge^w ^scourt^t may, after receiving a
   plea of guilty or plea of nolo contendere, hearing the evidence,
   and finding that it substantiates the defendant's guilt, defer
   further proceedings without entering an adjudication of guilt, and
   place the defendant on ^ucommunity supervision^w ^sprobation^t.  The
   ^ujudge^w ^scourt^t shall inform the defendant orally or in writing of
   the possible consequences under Subsection (b) of this section of a
   violation of ^ucommunity supervision^w ^sprobation^t.  If the information
   is provided orally, the ^ujudge^w ^scourt^t must record and maintain the
   ^ujudge's^w ^scourt's^t statement to the defendant.  In a felony case,
   the period of ^ucommunity supervision^w ^sprobation^t may not exceed 10
   years.  In a misdemeanor case, the period of ^ucommunity supervision^w
   ^sprobation^t may not exceed two years.  ^uA judge may increase the^w
   ^umaximum period of community supervision in the manner provided by^w
   ^uSection 22(c) of this article.^w  The ^ujudge^w ^scourt^t may impose a fine
   applicable to the offense and require any reasonable ^sterms and^t
   conditions of ^ucommunity supervision, including mental health^w
   ^utreatment under Section 11(d) of this article, that a judge could^w
   ^uimpose on a defendant placed on community supervision for a^w
   ^uconviction that was probated and suspended, including confinement^w
   ^sprobation^t.  However, upon written motion of the defendant
   requesting final adjudication filed within 30 days after entering
   such plea and the deferment of adjudication, the ^ujudge^w ^scourt^t
   shall proceed to final adjudication as in all other cases.
         (b)  On violation of a condition of ^ucommunity supervision^w
   ^sprobation^t imposed under Subsection (a) of this section, the
   defendant may be arrested and detained as provided in Section ^u21^w
   ^s24^t of this ^uarticle^w ^sArticle^t.  The defendant is entitled to a
   hearing limited to the determination by the court of whether it
   proceeds with an adjudication of guilt on the original charge.  No
   appeal may be taken from this determination.  After an adjudication
   of guilt, all proceedings, including assessment of punishment,
   pronouncement of sentence, granting of ^ucommunity supervision^w
   ^sprobation^t, and defendant's appeal continue as if the
   adjudication of guilt had not been deferred.

   ^ucommunity supervision^w ^sprobation^t if in ^uthe judge's^w ^sits^t opinion
   the best interest of society and the defendant will be served.  A
   dismissal and discharge under this section may not be deemed a
   conviction for the purposes of disqualifications or disabilities
   imposed by law for conviction of an offense, except that:
               (1)  upon conviction of a subsequent offense, the fact
   that the defendant had previously received ^ucommunity supervision^w
   ^uwith a deferred adjudication of guilt^w ^sprobation^t shall be
   admissible before the court or jury to be considered on the issue
   of penalty; and
               (2)  if the defendant is an applicant for a license or
   is a licensee under Chapter 42, Human Resources Code, the Texas
   Department of Human Services may consider the fact that the
   defendant previously has received ^ucommunity supervision with a^w
   ^udeferred adjudication of guilt^w ^sprobation^t under this section in
   issuing, renewing, denying, or revoking a license under that
   chapter.

   ^soffender's^t school and work schedule, the ^udefendant's^w
   ^soffender's^t health, the distance that the ^udefendant^w ^soffender^t

   program, the person shall give notice to the ^ucommunity supervision^w
   ^uand corrections^w ^sprobation^t department.  The ^sprobation^t department
   shall then forward the notice to the court clerk.  The court clerk
   shall then report the date of successful completion of the
   educational program to the Department of Public Safety for
   inclusion in the ^udefendant's^w ^sperson's^t driving record.  If the
   department does not receive notice that a ^udefendant^w ^sperson^t
   required to complete an educational program has successfully
   completed the program within the period required by this section,
   as shown on department records, the department shall suspend the
   ^udefendant's^w ^sperson's^t driver's license, permit, or privilege or

   the order of the judge ^sof such court^t to be noted on the docket of
   the court.  A ^udefendant^w ^sprobationer^t so arrested may be detained
   in the county jail or other appropriate place of ^uconfinement^w
   ^sdetention^t until he can be taken before the ^ujudge^w ^scourt^t.  Such
   officer shall forthwith report such arrest and detention to such
   ^ujudge^w ^scourt^t.  If the defendant has not been released on bail,
   on motion by the defendant the ^ujudge^w ^scourt^t shall cause the
   defendant to be brought before ^uthe judge^w ^sit^t for a hearing within
   20 days of filing of said motion, and after a hearing without a
   jury, may either continue, extend, modify, or revoke the ^ucommunity^w
   ^usupervision^w ^sprobation^t.  A ^ujudge^w ^scourt^t may revoke the ^ucommunity^w
   ^usupervision^w ^sprobation^t of a defendant who is ^uimprisoned^w ^sconfined^t
   in a penal ^sor correctional^t institution without a hearing if the
   defendant in writing before a court of record in the jurisdiction
   where ^uimprisoned^w ^sconfined^t waives his right to a hearing and to
   counsel, affirms that he has nothing to say as to why sentence
   should not be pronounced against him, and requests the ^ujudge^w
   ^scourt^t to revoke ^ucommunity supervision^w ^sprobation^t and to
   pronounce sentence.  In a felony case, the state may amend the
   motion to revoke ^ucommunity supervision^w ^sprobation^t any time up to
   seven days before the date of the revocation hearing, after which
   time the motion may not be amended except for good cause shown, and
   in no event may the state amend the motion after the commencement
   of taking evidence at the hearing.  The ^ujudge^w ^scourt^t may continue
   the hearing for good cause shown by either the defendant or the
   state.

   hearing at which it is alleged only that the ^udefendant^w

   ^sprobation^t by failing to pay compensation paid to appointed
   counsel, ^ucommunity supervision^w ^sprobation^t fees, court costs,
   restitution, or reparations, the inability of the ^udefendant^w
   ^sprobationer^t to pay as ordered by the ^ujudge^w ^scourt^t is an
   affirmative defense to revocation, which the ^udefendant^w
   ^sprobationer^t must prove by a preponderance of evidence.

   continues or modifies ^ucommunity supervision^w ^sa felony probation^t
   after determining that the ^udefendant^w ^sprobationer^t violated a

         SECTION 4.02.  (a)  Except as provided by Subsection (b) of
   this section, the change in law made by this article to Article
   42.12, Code of Criminal Procedure, applies only to a defendant
   charged with or convicted of an offense committed on or after the
   effective date of this article.  For the purposes of this section,
   an offense is committed before the effective date of this article
   if any element of the offense occurs before that date.  A defendant
   charged with or convicted of an offense committed before the
   effective date of this article is covered by the law in effect when
   the offense was committed, and the former law is continued in
   effect for this purpose.
         (b)  A court may require the confinement and treatment of a
   defendant as a condition of probation under Section 14, Article
   42.12, Code of Criminal Procedure, as added by this article,
   granted for an offense whether the offense is committed before, on,
   or after the effective date of this Act.
         SECTION 4.021.  Section 534.053(c), Health and Safety Code,
   is amended to read as follows:
         (c)  To the extent that resources are available, the
   department shall:
               (1)  ensure that the services listed in this section
   are available for children, including adolescents, as well as
   adults, in each service area; ^sand^t
               (2)  emphasize early intervention services for
   children, including adolescents, who meet the department's
   definition of being at high risk of developing severe emotional
   disturbances or severe mental illnesses^u; and^w
               ^u(3)  ensure that services listed in this section are^w
   ^uavailable for defendants required to submit to mental health^w
   ^utreatment under Article 17.032 or Section 5(a) or 11(d), Article^w
   ^u42.12, Code of Criminal Procedure^w.
         SECTION 4.03.  From the effective date of this article until
   September 1, 1994, a reference in Article 42.12, Code of Criminal
   Procedure, as amended by this Act, to an offense under Chapter 49,
   Penal Code, shall be construed as a reference to the offense and
   the punishment provisions for the offense as they existed before
   the effective date of Article 1 of this Act.
         SECTION 4.04.  (a)  On and after September 1, 1993, a
   reference in the law to "probation" or "deferred adjudication"
   means "community supervision," as that term is defined in Section
   2, Article 42.12, Code of Criminal Procedure, as amended by
   Section 4.01 of this article.  A defendant who is placed on
   probation or who receives deferred adjudication before September 1,
   1993, is considered on and after September 1, 1993, to have
   previously been placed on community supervision.
         (b)  The legislature declares that among its purposes in
   amending Article 42.12, Code of Criminal Procedure, in Section 4.01
   of this article, is the purpose of authorizing a judge to place a
   defendant for whom the judge defers criminal proceedings without an
   adjudication of guilt under the same continuum of programs and
   sanctions that the judge could place a defendant under if the judge

   or alter substantive or procedural distinctions between probated
   and suspended sentences and deferred adjudications, other than
   those distinctions related to placement of defendants under a
   continuum of sanctions and programs.

         (d)  When the judge assesses the punishment, he may order an
   investigative report as contemplated in Section ^u9^w ^s4^t of Article
   42.12 of this code and after considering the report, and after the
   hearing of the evidence hereinabove provided for, he shall
   forthwith announce his decision in open court as to the punishment
   to be assessed.
         SECTION 5.02.  Section 4, Article 37.07, Code of Criminal
   Procedure, is amended to read as follows:
         Sec. 4.  (a)  In the penalty phase of the trial of a felony
   case in which the punishment is to be assessed by the jury rather
   than the court, if the offense of which the jury has found the
   defendant guilty is listed in Section 3g(a)(1), Article 42.12, of
   this code or if the judgment contains an affirmative finding under
   Section 3g(a)(2), Article 42.12, of this code, unless the defendant
   has been convicted of a capital felony the court shall charge the
   jury in writing as follows:
         "Under the law applicable in this case, the defendant, if
   sentenced to a term of imprisonment, may earn time off the period
   of incarceration imposed through the award of good conduct time.
   Prison authorities may award good conduct time to a prisoner who
   exhibits good behavior, diligence in carrying out prison work
   assignments, and attempts at rehabilitation.  If a prisoner engages
   in misconduct, prison authorities may also take away all or part of
   any good conduct time earned by the prisoner.
         "It is also possible that the length of time for which the
   defendant will be imprisoned might be reduced by the award of
   parole.
         "Under the law applicable in this case, if the defendant is
   sentenced to a term of imprisonment, he will not become eligible
   for parole until the actual time served equals ^uone-half^w
   ^sone-fourth^t of the sentence imposed or ^u30^w ^s15^t years,
   whichever is less, without consideration of any good conduct time
   he may earn.  If the defendant is sentenced to a term of less than
   ^ufour^w ^ssix^t years, he must serve at least two years before he is
   eligible for parole.  Eligibility for parole does not guarantee
   that parole will be granted.
         "It cannot accurately be predicted how the parole law and
   good conduct time might be applied to this defendant if he is
   sentenced to a term of imprisonment, because the application of
   these laws will depend on decisions made by prison and parole

         "You may consider the existence of the parole law and good
   conduct time.  However, you are not to consider the extent to which
   good conduct time may be awarded to or forfeited by this particular
   defendant.  You are not to consider the manner in which the parole

   sentenced to a term of imprisonment, may earn time off the period
   of incarceration imposed through the award of good conduct time.
   Prison authorities may award good conduct time to a prisoner who
   exhibits good behavior, diligence in carrying out prison work
   assignments, and attempts at rehabilitation.  If a prisoner engages
   in misconduct, prison authorities may also take away all or part of
   any good conduct time earned by the prisoner.
         "It is also possible that the length of time for which the
   defendant will be imprisoned might be reduced by the award of
   parole.

   sentenced to a term of imprisonment, he will not become eligible
   for parole until the actual time served plus any good conduct time
   earned equals one-fourth of the sentence imposed or 15 years,
   whichever is less.  Eligibility for parole does not guarantee that
   parole will be granted.
         "It cannot accurately be predicted how the parole law and
   good conduct time might be applied to this defendant if he is
   sentenced to a term of imprisonment, because the application of
   these laws will depend on decisions made by prison and parole
   authorities.
         "You may consider the existence of the parole law and good

   43.11, and 43.12 and  adding Article 43.131 to read as follows:
         Art. 43.01.  Discharging Judgment for Fine.  (a)  When the
   sentence against an individual defendant is for fine and costs, he
   shall be discharged from the same:
               (1)  when the amount thereof has been fully paid; ^sor^t
               (2)  when remitted by the proper authority; ^sor^t
               (3)  when he has remained in custody for the time
   required by law to satisfy the amount thereof^u; or^w
               ^u(4)  when the defendant has discharged the amount of^w
   ^ufines and costs in any other manner permitted by this code^w.
         (b)  When the sentence against a defendant corporation or
   association is for fine and costs, it shall be discharged from
   same:
               (1)  when the amount thereof has been fully paid; ^sor^t
               (2)  when the execution against the corporation or
   association has been fully satisfied; or
               (3)  when the judgment has been fully satisfied in any
   other manner.
         Art. 43.03.  Payment of Fine.  (a)  If a defendant is
   sentenced to pay a fine or costs or both and he defaults in
   payment, the court ^uafter a hearing under Subsection (d) of this^w
   ^uarticle^w may order him ^uconfined^w ^simprisoned^t in jail until
   discharged as provided by law ^uor may order him to discharge the^w
   ^ufines and costs in any other manner provided by Article 43.09 of^w
   ^uthis code^w.  A certified copy of the judgment, sentence, and order
   is sufficient to authorize ^uconfinement under this subsection^w ^ssuch^t
   ^simprisonment^t.
         (b)  A term of ^uconfinement^w ^simprisonment^t for default in
   payment of fine or costs or both may not exceed the maximum term of
   ^uconfinement^w ^simprisonment^t authorized for the offense for which ^uthe^w
   defendant was sentenced to pay the fine or costs or both.  ^uIf a^w
   ^ucourt orders a term of confinement for default in payment of fines^w
   ^uor costs under this article at a time during which a defendant is^w
   ^userving another term of confinement for default or is serving a^w
   ^uterm of confinement for conviction of an offense, the term of^w
   ^uconfinement for default runs concurrently with the other term of^w
   ^uconfinement, unless the court orders the terms to run consecutively^w
   ^uunder Article 42.08 of this code.^w
         (c)  If a defendant is sentenced both to ^uconfinement^w
   ^simprisonment^t and to pay a fine or costs or both, and he
   defaults in payment of either, a term of ^uconfinement^w ^simprisonment^t
   for the default, when combined with the term of ^uconfinement^w
   ^simprisonment^t already assessed, may not exceed the maximum term
   of ^uconfinement^w ^simprisonment^t authorized for the offense for which

   ^udischarging fines and costs provided by Article 43.09 of this code^w
   ^uis appropriate for the defendant.^w
         Art. 43.09.  Fine Discharged.  (a)  When a defendant is
   convicted of a misdemeanor and his punishment is assessed at a
   pecuniary fine, if he is unable to pay the fine and costs adjudged
   against him, he may for such time as will satisfy the judgment be
   put to work in the workhouse, or on the county farm, or public
   improvements of the county or a political subdivision located in
   whole or in part in the county, as provided in the succeeding
   ^uarticle^w ^sArticle^t; or if there be no such workhouse, farm or
   improvements, he shall be ^uconfined^w ^simprisoned^t in jail for a
   sufficient length of time to discharge the full amount of fine and
   costs adjudged against him; rating such ^uconfinement^w ^simprisonment^t
   at $50 for each day and rating such labor at $50 for each day;
   provided, however, that the defendant may pay the pecuniary fine
   assessed against him at any time while he is serving at work in the
   workhouse, or on the county farm, or on the public improvements of
   the county or a political subdivision located in whole or in part
   in the county, or while he is serving his jail sentence, and in
   such instances he shall be entitled to the credit he has earned
   under this subsection during the time that he has served and he
   shall only be required to pay his balance of the pecuniary fine
   assessed against him.  A defendant who performs labor under this
   article during a day in which he is ^uconfined^w ^simprisoned^t is
   entitled to both the credit for ^uconfinement^w ^simprisonment^t and the
   credit for labor provided by this article.
         (b)  In its discretion, the court may order that for each
   day's confinement served by a defendant under this ^uarticle^w
   ^sArticle^t, the defendant receive credit toward payment of the
   pecuniary fine and credit toward payment of costs adjudged against
   the defendant.  Additionally, the court may order that the
   defendant receive credit under this ^uarticle^w ^sArticle^t for each
   day's confinement served by the defendant as punishment for the
   offense.
         (c)  In its discretion, the court may order that a defendant
   serving concurrent, but not consecutive, sentences for two or more
   misdemeanors may, for each day served, receive credit toward the
   satisfaction of costs and fines imposed for each separate offense.
         (d)  Notwithstanding any other provision of this article, in
   its discretion, the court or the sheriff of the county may grant an
   additional two days credit for each day served to any inmate
   participating in an approved work program under this article or a
   rehabilitation, restitution, or education program.
         (e)  A court in a county served by a community supervision
   and corrections department that has an electronic monitoring
   program approved by the community justice assistance division of
   the Texas Department of Criminal Justice may require a defendant
   who is unable to pay a fine or costs to discharge all or part of
   the fine or costs by submitting to electronic monitoring.  A
   defendant that submits to electronic monitoring under this
   subsection discharges fines and costs in the same manner as if the
   defendant were confined in county jail.
         (f)  A court may require a defendant who is unable to pay a

   performing community service.
         (g)  In its order requiring a defendant to participate in
   community service work under Subsection (f) of this article, the
   court must specify:
               (1)  the number of hours the defendant is required to
   work; ^uand^w
               (2)  ^sthe entity or organization for which the^t

   service work under Subsection (f) of this article only for a
   governmental entity or a nonprofit organization that provides
   services to the general public that enhance social welfare and the
   general well-being of the community.  A governmental entity or
   nonprofit organization that accepts a defendant under Subsection
   (f) of this article to perform community service must agree to
   supervise the defendant in the performance of the defendant's work
   and report on the defendant's work to the district probation
   department or court-related services office.

   bail as it determines are proper.
         (j)  A court may not order a defendant to perform more than
   16 hours per week of community service under Subsection (f) of this
   article unless the court determines that requiring the defendant to
   work additional hours does not work a hardship on the defendant or

   fine that has been paid.  If the complaint is dismissed, a special
   expense not to exceed the amount of the fine assessed may be
   imposed.
