RPT Priority #2: Secure Texas Elections ENDORSED

HB 2332 modifies the appearance and function of Texas driver's licenses and personal identification cards by introducing a "CERTIFIED TEXAN" designator for U.S. citizens. It also amends election processes by requiring this designator for voter registration and ballot applications. The bill removes military identification cards as an acceptable form of voter ID and mandates that personal identification certificates or driver's licenses issued after the effective date must include this new citizenship designation.
