Bill Summary
AN ACT relating to the definition of holster for purposes of certain criminal offenses.
AI Summary
This bill amends the Texas Penal Code by adding a specific legal definition for the term "holster" as a leather, fabric, or plastic case designed for carrying a handgun. The bill provides clarity by formally defining what constitutes a holster under the law, which could be important for interpreting criminal offenses related to carrying firearms. The new definition will apply only to offenses committed on or after September 1, 2025, meaning that for any offenses that occurred before this date, the previous legal interpretation will still be used. By creating this explicit definition, the bill aims to provide more precise language for law enforcement and judicial proceedings involving firearms and holsters, potentially helping to standardize how such terms are understood in legal contexts.
