HB 333 Texas House · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to the authority of the Ysleta del Sur Pueblo to commission peace officers.

HB 333 amends Texas law to explicitly include the Ysleta del Sur Pueblo tribe among tribes authorized to commission peace officers. The bill adds the Ysleta del Sur Pueblo to Article 2A.003(a) of the Code of Criminal Procedure, allowing its tribal council to employ and commission peace officers who can enforce state law within the tribe's reservation. This change directly affects the Ysleta del Sur Pueblo by expanding its existing authority to employ tribal peace officers. The bill takes effect September 1, 2025, and does not alter existing enforcement powers for other tribes like the Alabama-Coushatta or Kickapoo Traditional Tribe.
