Tex. Code Crim. Proc. art. 42A.651 · Subchapter N. PAYMENTS; FEES
PAYMENT AS CONDITION OF COMMUNITY SUPERVISION.
Text — Current through the 89th 2nd Called Legislative Session, 2025
(a) A judge may not order a defendant to make a payment as a term or condition of community supervision, except for:
(1) the payment of fines, court costs, or restitution to the victim;
(2) reimbursement of a county as described by Article 42A.301(b)(11); or
(3) a payment ordered as a condition that relates personally to the rehabilitation of the defendant or that is otherwise expressly authorized by law.
(b) A defendant's obligation to pay a fine or court cost as ordered by a judge is independent of any requirement to pay the fine or court cost as a condition of the defendant's community supervision. A defendant remains obligated to pay any unpaid fine or court cost after the expiration of the defendant's period of community supervision.
(c) A judge may not impose a condition of community supervision requiring a defendant to reimburse a county for the costs of legal services as described by Article 42A.301(b)(11) if the defendant has already satisfied that obligation under Article 26.05(g).
