If the net proceeds total $200,000 under standard Texas distribution, how much does the law enforcement agency typically receive?

• A. $40,000
• B. $140,000
• C. $160,000
• D. $200,000

Answer: (B)

In Texas, net forfeiture proceeds are typically split with the law enforcement agency receiving 70 percent and the remainder going to the state or other authorized recipients. Net proceeds mean the amount left after deducting eligible costs and expenses. So if the total net proceeds are 200,000, the agency would get 0.70 × 200,000 = 140,000. The remaining 60,000 goes to the state or designated funds. The other options reflect different percentages and are not the standard distribution.
