Relating to the homeland security activities of certain entities, including the establishment and operations of the Homeland Security Division in the Department of Public Safety.

SB 780 establishes a Homeland Security Division within Texas' Department of Public Safety. This division coordinates state border security operations, manages intelligence collection and analysis (including Operation Drawbridge surveillance), and develops strategic plans with state agencies, local governments, and private organizations. It requires collaboration on tactical planning, risk assessments, and emergency preparedness exercises. The bill directly affects Texas' public safety agencies, local governments, and entities involved in border security operations by creating a centralized structure for these efforts.
