Texas law prohibits the use of forfeiture proceeds for:

• A. Purchase of vehicles
• B. Payment of salaries not related to law enforcement
• C. Training expenses
• D. Overtime pay for officers

Answer: (B)

Forfeiture proceeds under Texas law are aimed at supporting law-enforcement activities tied to the asset seizure, not general government expenses. They can be used for equipment like vehicles, for training that improves enforcement capabilities, and for overtime pay that directly supports officers in the field. Paying salaries that do not relate to law enforcement would not advance the purpose of forfeiture funds and is not allowed. That’s why the prohibition applies to salaries unrelated to enforcement. The other uses—purchasing vehicles, funding training, and providing overtime for officers—are consistent with the intended use of these proceeds.
