H.B. No. 333 amends Article 2A.003(a) of the Code of Criminal Procedure to grant the Ysleta del Sur Pueblo the authority to employ and commission peace officers for the enforcement of state law within its reservation. This amendment adds the Ysleta del Sur Pueblo to the existing provisions that already include the Alabama-Coushatta Tribe of Texas and the Kickapoo Traditional Tribe of Texas, thereby expanding the scope of tribal law enforcement authority in Texas.

The bill specifies that the tribal council of the Ysleta del Sur Pueblo, along with the other mentioned tribes, can now have peace officers who are empowered to enforce state laws, enhancing the legal framework for tribal governance and law enforcement. The act is set to take effect on September 1, 2025.
