Relating to the carrying of a handgun by a county commissioner in certain locations.

HB 2993 amends Texas Penal Code Section 46.15 to exempt specific officials from handgun carrying restrictions in certain locations. The bill specifies that Sections 46.02 and 46.03 (which generally prohibit carrying handguns in places like public establishments) do not apply to peace officers, parole officers, community supervision officers, judicial officers, retired law enforcement officers, certain prosecutors, bailiffs, and juvenile probation officers while on duty and meeting specific conditions. This change directly affects these officials by allowing them to carry handguns during official duties in locations where the general public is restricted. The bill does not address county commissioners, despite the title suggesting otherwise, as the provided text contains no provisions for them.
