| Are Suspects or Arrestees Included in the Database? | No | No | No | No | Yes. Those arrested for or charged with certain felonies are currently included. This will expand to all felony arrestees on Jan. 1, 2009. Furthermore, the statute allows for inclusion of a suspect's DNA into a suspect data base file, to be searched against the profiles of case evidence. | No | No | No | No | No | Yes. The statute allows for DNA samples from suspects to be profiled, entered into the DNA database, and searched against other DNA database profiles. Inclusion of suspects is not mandated, however. The profile is removed when the donor is no longer a "suspect." | No | No | No | No | No | No | The statute is written such that DNA samples are taken from arrestees, but DNA profiles are removed from the database, upon request of the defendant, when the arrest does not lead to a conviction or plea bargain. | No | No | No | Yes. The statute allows for the taking and profiling of suspects' DNA. However, the statute does not mandate that DNA be taken from all suspects. When the person ceases to be a suspect, then his DNA sample and profile are expunged and disposed. | Yes. DNA is collected from certain individuals once they have appeared in court and have had a probable cause determination on a charge of committing certain offenses (not all felonies). The DNA is expunged if the person is found not guilty or if the charge is later dismissed. | No | No | No | Yes. The statute allows for the taking and profiling of suspects' DNA. However, the statute does not mandate that DNA be taken from all suspects. When the person ceases to be a suspect, then his DNA sample and profile are expunged and disposed. | No | No | No | No | Yes. There's no explicit provision regarding
suspects, but the expungement provision in § 995-c suggests that a suspect's DNA is profiled upon issuance of a warrant or court order |
No | No | No | Yes. The OSBI Combined DNA Index System (CODIS) may include secondary databases, including a suspect index database consisting of samples taken from individuals as a result of criminal investigations. Note that the statute does not mandate that DNA samples be taken from all suspects. | No | No | No | No | No | No | Yes. Those indicted for a certain subset of felonies must provide a DNA sample; those arrested for the same subset of felonies after having been convicted or placed on deferred adjudication for one of those felonies (or burglary of a habitation) must also provide a sample. Arrestees and indictees can petition for expungement of the DNA Record if no conviction results from the arrest/indictment. See Tex. Code Crim. Pro. § 55.01 | No | Yes. The statute allows for the taking and profiling of suspects' DNA. However, the statute does not mandate that DNA be taken from all suspects. When the person ceases to be a suspect, then his DNA sample and profile are expunged and disposed. | Yes. Samples are taken from those arrested for a
"violent felony." Before
sampling, a magistrate must find that probable cause exists for the arrest. If the charge is dismissed or the defendant acquitted at trial, the DNA profile shall be expunged. |
No | No | No | No |
