Every state and local agency writes one.
The bill requires every state and local law enforcement agency in Texas to adopt a written policy on officers shooting at or toward a moving vehicle. The policy must bar officers from firing at a moving vehicle unless someone inside is using deadly force by some means other than the vehicle itself, and the officer believes firing is immediately necessary to protect a person. Agencies must adopt the policy as soon as practicable after September 1, 2025, so shooting at a car only because it is driving toward someone would be against policy statewide.

SECTION 2. Each law enforcement agency in this state shall adopt the policy required by Article 2B.0254, Code of Criminal Procedure, as added by this Act, as soon as practicable after the effective date of this Act.
