HB 2567 Texas House · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to equipment used or intended for use in testing or analyzing a controlled substance.

This bill would amend Texas law to explicitly include equipment used for testing or analyzing controlled substances (such as devices measuring drug strength, purity, or effectiveness) in the definition of "drug paraphernalia." Currently, such testing equipment is not specifically listed under this definition. The change would extend existing paraphernalia laws to cover these tools, making their possession or use for drug-related purposes illegal. It directly affects individuals who handle or use such equipment in connection with controlled substances.
