The bill, H.B. No. 1352, mandates that each law enforcement agency in Texas adopt a specific policy regarding the discharge of firearms by peace officers at or in the direction of moving vehicles. The newly added Article 2B.0254 to the Code of Criminal Procedure defines a "law enforcement agency" and outlines the requirements for the policy. It stipulates that officers are prohibited from discharging their firearms at moving vehicles unless they reasonably believe it is immediately necessary to protect themselves or others from unlawful deadly force by an occupant of the vehicle, excluding situations where the vehicle is used to strike a person.

The bill requires law enforcement agencies to implement this policy as soon as practicable after the bill's effective date of September 1, 2025. This legislation aims to enhance the safety of both law enforcement officers and the public by establishing clear guidelines on the use of firearms in potentially dangerous situations involving moving vehicles.
