Harris County bail reform upheld by appeals court
U S District Judge Lee Rosenthal found Harris County bail policy violated the Equal Protection and Due Process Clauses. The Fifth Circuit upheld in 2018. The consent decree ends automatic jail for most misdemeanors, guarantees counsel for certain defendants, and adds court appearance safeguards and data collection. A federal monitor will oversee seven years. A fairness hearing is set for August 21 to consider a final order.
