SB 33 Texas Senate · 89th Legislature, 2nd Called Session (2025)

Relating to emergency warning systems operated by municipalities and counties.

SB 33 creates a voluntary system for Texas municipalities and counties to share emergency warning alerts with residents. It allows local governments to contract with the Department of Public Safety to obtain consent-based contact information (like phone numbers or email addresses) from residents who apply for or renew a driver's license and opt in. Residents can later opt out by submitting a written request, including via text message, and may also choose to receive alerts in both English and Spanish. The bill directly affects Texas residents interacting with driver's license services and local emergency management systems.
