HB 1936 Texas House · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to the issuance of a citation for the offense of the unauthorized use of parking designated for persons with disabilities.

HB 1936 removes a specific provision requiring law enforcement to issue a citation for unauthorized use of disability parking spaces in Texas. This change directly affects individuals who park in designated disability spaces without authorization, as it eliminates the mandatory citation requirement for this offense. The bill repeals Section 681.011(f-2) of the Transportation Code, meaning officers will no longer be required to issue citations for this violation. The law applies only to offenses occurring on or after its effective date of September 1, 2025.
