Relating to the applicability of a defense to prosecution for an offense relating to carrying a handgun in certain prohibited locations and to repealing associated notice requirements.

HB 925 repeals two sections (46.15(n) and (o)) of the Texas Penal Code that previously established a defense for carrying handguns in certain prohibited locations and required specific notice to prosecutors. The bill eliminates these provisions, meaning future offenses involving handguns in those locations will no longer have this defense available. The repeal applies only to offenses committed on or after September 1, 2025, with prior offenses governed by the previous law. This is a procedural change to the penal code, not a new policy.
