TX HB764

Establishes a 5-year minimum term of imprisonment for intoxication manslaughter convictions, which remains a second-degree felony

Requires defendants convicted of intoxication manslaughter who receive community supervision to serve at least 5 years in the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (increased from the previous 120 days of confinement)

Allows judges to reduce the minimum imprisonment term to 2 years for community supervision cases if they find it serves the community's best interest and would not harm the public, with that finding entered on the record

Prohibits parole and mandatory supervision release for intoxication manslaughter offenders until they have served at least 5 years of actual calendar time, excluding good conduct time credits

Applies only to offenses committed on or after September 1, 2025, and may be cited as "Lauren and CJ's Law"
