Relating to creating the criminal offense of trespass on or near school or day-care center property.

HB 353 would create a Class A misdemeanor for trespassing on or near school or day-care center property in Texas. It prohibits entering or remaining on school property or within 250 feet of it without a legitimate reason (like custody responsibilities) or written permission from school staff, after being asked to leave. The bill defines "school or day-care center property" broadly to include all owned/leased land, buildings, and grounds where school activities occur. This bill was vetoed by the Governor on May 24, 2025, so it did not become law.
