HB 2622 by Rep. Holland: This creates a Sanctuary State for our law abiding 2A community. Boiled down, it says that no state resources can be used to enforce federal firearms laws that are not also state laws. Further, it gives recourse if a state agency or political subdivision of this state ignores this law.

Please be aware however, if a federal agent finds you breaking federal law, you still have a serious problem. But this bill will make it more difficult for them to operate in Texas-without the cooperation of our Law Enforcement Officers or our resources, it becomes challenging.

We would like to thank Representative Holland and Senator Hall (who sponsored the bill in the Senate), the leadership of Lt. Governor Dan Patrick and Speaker Dade Phalen.

We look forward to Governor Abbott signing this bill into law and we know from his public comments on multiple occasions, he intends to do just that! Thank you, Governor Abbott for your leadership as well!
