Relating to the carrying of a handgun while intoxicated and to the possession or carrying of a handgun by a license holder in certain locations selling or serving alcoholic beverages.

HB 1908 makes it a Class A misdemeanor for a licensed handgun holder to carry a handgun while intoxicated in locations that sell or serve alcoholic beverages. The bill specifically targets licensed carriers in venues like bars or restaurants, adding a new offense under Penal Code Section 46.03(a)(7). However, it creates a defense if the licensed holder was not intoxicated at the time of carrying. The law, set to take effect September 1, 2025, applies only to offenses committed after that date.
