↑Expands gun accessmodel confidence 90%
Expands eligibility for concealed handgun licenses to include judges of a United States immigration court, so more federal judges can legally carry handguns in Texas.
Why the model tagged it this way: The bill expands the definition of "federal judge" in Government Code §411.201(a)(2) to include immigration court judges, allowing them to obtain a Texas license to carry a handgun (an expansion of carry rights for this group). It applies the change prospectively to new applications. No other topics are substantively addressed.
