September 2016 Family settles wrongful death lawsuit for $1.9 million
September 2016 Legislation in Bland's honor is a term of the lawsuit settlement, and state Rep. Garnet Coleman, a Houston Democrat and chairman of the House County Affairs Committee, said he will introduce the Sandra Bland Act during the 2017 session. The bill will address protocols for dealing with mental health issues in the criminal justice system, look for ways to divert people to treatment over incarceration and emphasize police de-escalation.
March 2017 Bland’s family, who initially doubted that her death was a suicide, is currently bringing a wrongful death lawsuit against Encinia, as well as the Waller County Jail (read the complaint here). A trial is currently scheduled for March.

October 2016 Attorneys for former Texas Department of Public Safety trooper Brian Encinia, accused of perjury in connection with his controversial 2015 arrest of Sandra Bland, say they will ask a judge to let a second grand jury reconsider Encinia's indictment. And if Encinia does go on trial, his attorneys want the proceeding moved out of Waller County, they said. Encinia was indicted in March 2015 for allegedly lying in the report he filed on Bland's arrest.
judge accepts settlement.
