BRYAN, Texas (KBTX) - Brazos County elected District Attorney Jarvis Parsons helped write H.B. 1871 and says the new bill will make attempted capital murder of a peace officer a first-degree felony. “Prosecutors have to make decisions as to what’s the best case. But sometimes, prior to this legislation, the best case sends a mixed message to law enforcement that they weren’t trying to murder you because the punishment was so low in the prior cases on attempted capital murder,” Parsons explained.
