AUSTIN, Texas (KLTV) - An East Texas state senator has filed a bill that would make some murders tied to a family's reputation capital murder.

Senate Bill 189, authored by Sen. Bob Hall, would apply when a person kills a family member with the intent to restore the family's honor or reputation.

Under the bill, prosecutors could use statements, actions or other objective factors to establish whether the person believed the victim's conduct harmed the family's honor or reputation.
