Relating to the authority of the Ysleta del Sur Pueblo to commission peace officers.
This bill grants the Ysleta del Sur Pueblo the authority to hire and commission peace officers to enforce state laws within their reservation. It amends the Texas Code of Criminal Procedure to include the Ysleta del Sur Pueblo alongside two other Native American tribes that already have this power. The law allows tribal peace officers to enforce state statutes on tribal lands, expanding their jurisdiction beyond tribal codes. The legislation takes effect on September 1, 2025, and was signed into law by the Governor.
