Spotlight: SB 1717 : Stalking (Center for Women in Government)

In their last session, the Texas Legislature amended Code of Criminal Procedure to update the situations where stalking can be charged. The new language includes “whether a reasonable person in the same situation would feel fear,” and other updates. How will this change protect stalking victims and their families? Amanda Aubrey, Legal Policy Manager for the Texas Council on Family Violence, will be speaking on the amendments and how they will help victims.
