House Bill 2604 amends the Government Code to replace the current application requirements for a concealed handgun license applicable to a person who is a licensed peace officer employed as a peace officer by a law enforcement agency or who is a member of the Texas military forces, excluding certain Texas State Guard members. Instead, an applicant serving as a peace officer must submit to the Department of Public Safety (DPS) the applicant's name and rank and a current copy of the applicant's peace officer license and evidence of employment, and an applicant who is a member of the Texas military forces must comply with rules adopted by DPS regarding information required to be submitted.
