HB 207 Texas House · 89th Legislature, 2nd Called Session (2025)

Relating to the issuance of a license to carry a handgun to certain federal judges.

HB 207 amends Texas law to include specific federal judges in the definition of individuals eligible for a handgun license. It expands the definition of "federal judge" to cover judges of U.S. courts of appeals, district courts, bankruptcy courts, magistrate judges, and immigration courts. The bill does not create new licenses but changes the eligibility criteria in the existing law. This change applies only to license applications submitted on or after the law's effective date (91 days after the legislative session), leaving prior applications governed by older rules.
