Upon conclusion of a death in custody, where should the report be submitted?

The report upon conclusion of a death in custody should be submitted to the Texas Commission on Jail Standards. This is correct because the Commission is responsible for the oversight and regulation of Texas jails, ensuring compliance with standards that promote safety and accountability within jail facilities.

Submitting the report to the Texas Commission on Jail Standards ensures that the incident is properly documented and reviewed according to state regulations, which helps in identifying systemic issues and preventing future occurrences.

Other options, while relevant in the context of law enforcement operations, do not serve the same function. For example, local law enforcement agencies may be involved in the immediate investigation or response to the incident, but the final report needs to go to a regulatory body like the Commission for oversight.
