Relating to the expunction of arrest records and files for certain defendants placed on deferred adjudication community supervision for the unlawful carrying of a handgun.

HB 2066 allows eligible individuals to have arrest records expunged for unlawful handgun carrying offenses committed before September 1, 2021. It specifically applies to people convicted or placed on deferred adjudication community supervision for violating Section 46.02(a) of the Penal Code as it existed prior to that date. The bill amends Texas law to require expungement of all related arrest records once a person completes their supervision term, with the law taking effect September 1, 2025. This directly affects individuals with pre-2021 cases involving handgun possession charges under the old legal standard.
