Methodology
KeepTXRed treats the official legislative record and latest official action as the factual status layer for HB 1741.

Bill → law → agency context
This relationship layer distinguishes what the normalized official record can prove from what it cannot. Enactment and effective dates come from the bill record. Agency names below are shown only when an official fiscal document supplies a verified agency reference; being cited in a fiscal note does not by itself prove that the agency administers the resulting law.
Official fiscal-note agency context
No verified agency references are available from the latest parsed official fiscal material. KeepTXRed does not infer an administering agency from the bill topic or title.

KeepTXRed summary
HB 1741 was a House-passed proposal creating a procedure to transfer jurisdiction over certain people acquitted by reason of insanity when outpatient or community-based treatment would occur in a different county. The Senate did not pass it.
What would change
The proposal would have allowed either party to seek transfer to a county with an appropriate court when outpatient treatment was ordered or when a person previously ordered to inpatient treatment sought modification. The motion would have had to address treatment safety, local authority notice, the person's nexus to the receiving county and other stabilizing factors.
Who may be affected
People acquitted by reason of insanity, courts, prosecutors and defense attorneys, local mental health and intellectual-disability authorities, probation and treatment providers, and receiving counties.
When it would take effect
HB 1741 did not take effect. It passed the House and was considered in the Senate but remained pending and did not receive final Senate passage.
Limits and uncertainty
The transfer procedure described here is not current law through HB 1741. Existing Code of Criminal Procedure rules control jurisdiction, treatment and supervision after an insanity acquittal.
