Even in the state with the best custodial death reporting system in the country, the lack of adequate staff and oversight agency authority means that records are still deeply imperfect. While civil society oversight addresses some of the shortcomings, the state still bears full responsibility for recording deaths in custody. At this writing, the Texas legislature has considered numerous bills to shore up the system, but none have been passed yet. As Walter Martinez lamented when reflecting on the law he crafted back in 1983, âYou know, you feel bad that the intent that you had for that piece of legislation was notâis notâbeing achieved. Itâs unfortunate. I think itâs bad.â103
