Relating to certificates of number and certificates of title issued by and records kept by the Parks and Wildlife Department; creating a criminal offense.

HB 4895 amends Texas Parks and Wildlife Code to define key terms related to boat registration documents, including "certificate of title," "hull identification number," and "record." It creates a new criminal offense for altering or misusing these official records. The bill directly affects boat owners, dealers, and anyone handling vessel registration documents. By establishing clear definitions, the bill enables enforcement against fraud or tampering with vessel ownership records.
