More Information on Prop 3

Texas Crime Victims United, our mission is to ensure victims and survivors have a voice in shaping safer communities.

Proposition 3 is an essential step toward that goal.

Right now, the Texas Constitution requires judges to set bail for nearly all defendants, even those accused of the most violent crimes. Judges are only allowed to deny bail in very limited situations, such as capital murder.

This means that individuals charged with serious offenses like aggravated sexual assault or repeat acts of violence can buy their release before trial, regardless of the danger they may pose.

Proposition 3 restores judicial authority and accountability.

It amends the Texas Constitution to allow judges, after a hearing and based on clear evidence, to deny bail to individuals who present a demonstrated threat to public safety or a serious flight risk.

This reform does not eliminate bail. It ensures that decisions are guided by safety and risk, not by someone’s ability to pay.

For victims and survivors, this change brings peace of mind. It means fewer threats, fewer opportunities for intimidation, and a stronger sense that the justice system values their safety.

For communities, it means dangerous individuals can be held until trial when necessary, keeping neighborhoods safer while still protecting constitutional rights.

In short: Proposition 3 strikes the right balance between fairness and safety. It gives judges the discretion they need, victims the protection they deserve, and Texas the justice system our citizens expect.
