HB 200 Texas House · 89th Legislature, 1st Called Session (2025)

Relating to emergency warning systems operated by municipalities and counties.

HB 200 creates a voluntary system for Texas municipalities and counties to operate emergency warning systems. It allows residents to opt-in to receive emergency alerts by consenting during driver's license applications, authorizing the state to share their contact information (phone, email, address) with local governments. Residents can later opt-out by submitting a written request or text message. The bill requires local governments to contract with the state department for this service and restricts contact information use solely to emergency alerts, prohibiting other purposes.
