HB 2700 Texas House · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to the definition of holster for purposes of certain criminal offenses.

HB 2700 amends Texas law to define "holster" as a leather, fabric, or plastic case specifically designed for carrying a handgun. This change affects individuals charged with criminal offenses involving holsters, clarifying the legal definition for prosecution. The bill applies only to offenses committed on or after September 1, 2025, meaning past offenses remain governed by the previous definition. It does not create new penalties but standardizes how holsters are legally interpreted in criminal cases.
