Under standard Texas distribution, what is the percentage of net proceeds allocated to the law enforcement agency?

• A. 60%
• B. 70%
• C. 80%
• D. 90%

Answer: (B)

In Texas asset forfeiture, after subtracting allowable costs to arrive at net proceeds, the law enforcement agency that pursued the forfeiture typically receives 70 percent of those net proceeds, while the remaining 30 percent goes to the state. This split is designed to reward agencies for pursuing forfeiture while ensuring state resources are funded. There are exceptions for specific programs or joint actions, but the 70/30 baseline is the standard.
