TX HB1274

Requires the Department of Public Safety to notify individuals within 60 days via certified mail when their information is added to the gang intelligence database, including information about how to dispute inclusion or request removal after renouncing membership

Prohibits database information from being used to determine employment eligibility, limit constitutional rights, or restrict a person's ability to obtain federal or state licenses, permits, or benefits

Mandates annual audits by the state auditor of the intelligence database, requiring removal of information retained more than 10 years unless the department can reestablish sufficient evidence for inclusion

Raises the evidentiary standard for retaining information in the database from "reasonable suspicion" to "probable cause" and adds constitutional violation as grounds for disputing inclusion

Allows former gang members to renounce membership and have their information removed from the database two years after renunciation, with the department required to establish rules and forms for this process
