They should start by implementing HB 2391, the only legislation passed in 2007 by the 80th Texas Legislature aimed at reducing jail overcrowding.In both Harris and Smith counties, the Sheriffs and local PDs refused to allow their officers to use new discretion created this year by the Legislature to issue a summons instead of making an arrest for certain low-level, nonviolent offenses.
