The bill proposes the creation of the Texas Division of Homeland Security as a new division within the existing governmental structure. It introduces a new subchapter, Subchapter B-2, to Chapter 411 of the Government Code, which defines the division and outlines its establishment, leadership, and operational scope. The division will be led by a chief administrative officer appointed by the director and is explicitly stated to not be subject to abolition, ensuring its permanence within the state's framework.

Additionally, the bill grants the Texas Division of Homeland Security specific powers to conduct border security operations along the Texas-Mexico border. These operations include law enforcement activities, intelligence gathering, coordination of state agencies, surveillance of criminal activities, and training programs for personnel involved in border security. The bill is set to take effect on September 1, 2025.
