AI Summary
This bill modifies the Texas Penal Code to make it a third-degree felony for a person who is not lawfully present in the United States to possess a firearm. Specifically, the bill adds a new subsection to Section 46.04 that explicitly criminalizes firearm possession by individuals who are in the country illegally, classifying this offense as a third-degree felony. The bill will take effect immediately if it receives a two-thirds vote from both houses of the Texas Legislature; otherwise, it will become effective on September 1, 2025. The change expands existing firearm possession restrictions and aims to enhance legal penalties for unauthorized immigrants who possess firearms in Texas.
