BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS: |

|
|
(c) A person commits an offense if the person commits an |
|

|
|
person who receives or who is intended to receive the drug |
|
|
paraphernalia is younger than 18 years of age [and at least three
|
|
|

|
|
SECTION 2. The change in law made by this Act applies only |
|
|
to an offense committed on or after the effective date of this Act. |

|
|
governed by the law in effect when the offense was committed, and |
|
|
the former law is continued in effect for that purpose. For |
|
|
purposes of this section, an offense was committed before the |
|
|

|
|
committed before that date. |
