Greg Abbott (R) signed a bill aiming to keep violent criminals off the street as they wait for trial. He signed the <a href=\"https:\/\/gov.texas.gov\/news\/post\/governor-abbott-signs-damon-allen-act-into-law-at-safer-houston-summit\">Damon Allen Act<\/a> on Monday, which mandates that violent criminals can only pay a cash bail and not a personal bond.<\/p>\n<p>The new law was named after trooper Damon Allen, who was shot and killed by a man that was out on bail for another violent crime. It will also provide \u201cenhanced training and education for all magistrates who set bail,\u201d while adding accountability for judges that release criminals on bail.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Damon Allen Act makes it harder for dangerous criminals to be released from jail on bail. it also creates a statewide information system to provide judges considering bail with the criminal history of the person who is up for bail.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Proud to sign the Damon Allen Act into law this morning at the Safer Houston Summit.<\/p>\n<p>This law will reform our broken bail system and help keep our communities safe and secure. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/Ya3WkWOahi\">https:\/\/t.co\/Ya3WkWOahi<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/txlege?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#txlege<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Gov.
