TX SB1124

Expands the definition of "the state" for discovery purposes to include both the prosecuting attorney and any law enforcement agency that filed or investigated the case

Requires defendants to submit "timely and specific written" discovery requests, changing the standard for evidence from "material to any matter" to "relevant to any fact of consequence" in the case

Allows courts to limit discovery requests upon motion by the prosecution if the request is unduly broad, burdensome, or implicates victim/witness privacy, and the material is not reasonably necessary to the defense

Establishes a discovery conference process that parties may request no later than 20 days before jury selection, with courts required to consider a party's failure to promptly address discovery issues when determining remedies

Restricts courts from suppressing evidence for discovery violations unless the noncomplying party knowingly withheld information, or the violation caused actual prejudice and other remedies would be insufficient
