A Texas Senate bill honoring Lauren Landavazo, known as ‘Laurens Law’ has been re-filed for the upcoming legislative session.

Lauren was 13 when she was murdered in Wichita Falls. Her killer got life in prison but will be eligible for parole in 30 years.

State Representative James Frank filed H.B. 261 in hopes of raising the age of a victim when it comes to capital murder charges.

Right now, if the victim is under the age of 10 capital murder can be the charge. Lauren’s law would raise it to 15. Capital murder brings with it the option of the death penalty or life without the possibility of parole.
