Relating to the restoration of civil rights to a criminal defendant.

HB 2933 modifies Texas law to restrict eligibility for restoring civil rights (such as voting rights) after a criminal conviction. It excludes individuals convicted of offenses involving violence, drugs, or firearms - whether under Texas, federal, or foreign law - from qualifying for rights restoration. To apply, individuals must have completed their sentence and waited at least two years (three years for federal offenses) since conviction, with no recent felony convictions. The law applies to all convictions occurring before, on, or after its effective date of September 1, 2025.
