H.B. No. 2363 amends Article 14.03 of the Code of Criminal Procedure to expand the authority of certain peace officers to make warrantless arrests while outside their jurisdiction. The bill introduces a new provision, Subdivision (2-a), which specifies that licensed peace officers, as defined in Article 2A.001(14), can arrest individuals for offenses committed in their presence or view. However, there is a limitation for arrests related to violations of Subtitle C, Title 7 of the Transportation Code, which can only occur in counties with populations of 500,000 or more, where the officer's district is located.

The bill is set to take effect on September 1, 2025, allowing peace officers greater flexibility in enforcing the law beyond their usual jurisdiction while also establishing specific conditions under which they can act. This change aims to enhance public safety by enabling officers to respond to offenses more effectively, particularly in larger urban areas.
