HB 411 — Drug and Alcohol Testing After Officer Deaths
Texas would require drug and alcohol testing rules after an officer is involved in an injury or death.
HB 411, by Flores: Texas would require drug and alcohol testing rules after an officer is involved in an injury or death.
A House bill does not decide a case by itself. It sets the rules under which sheriffs, jails, and detention centers operate, and those rules are part of the public record anyone can read.
The caption is the whole description
The Legislature caption for HB 411 says: “Relating to a law enforcement agency policy regarding drug and alcohol testing of peace officers involved in certain injuries or deaths.” The report names Flores as author and shows the last action as H Filed on 11/09/2026. This page adds no other claims on purpose.
What it would mean
The caption describes a single change. It does not describe a committee result, a fiscal note, or an outcome, and neither does this page. Those would have to come from the history page, not from a guess. The caption itself: “Relating to a law enforcement agency policy regarding drug and alcohol testing of peace officers involved in certain injuries or deaths.”
Author: Flores. Filed: 11/09/2026.
What to watch next
If the bill moves, the history page will show it. This summary does not predict a vote or an outcome, because the report does not contain one.
