Governor Greg Abbott has proposed a measure that would increase penalties for Texas teachers who engage in inappropriate relationships with students. Under this proposal, such teachers would face a minimum prison sentence. The proposed minimum sentence is 10 years in prison.

This measure is intended to address the issue of improper relationships between teachers and students in Texas. Further details about the proposal can be found in the Denton Record-Chronicle, which reported on Governor Abbott's plan to increase penalties for teachers who engage in inappropriate relationships with students.
