Greg Abbott has signed a bill that will aim to eliminate the backlog of thousands of untested rape kits in Texas. Abbott signed the measure in Dallas on Tuesday along with four other bills designed to help victims of sex crimes. The new law mandates law enforcement agencies conduct an audit to determine all of the untested rape kits in the state and that officials set timelines for their analysis.
