  relating to pedestrian use of a sidewalk.
         BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:
         SECTION 1.  Section 552.006(b), Transportation Code, is

  the date 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 effective date of the repeal if any
  element of the offense occurred before that date.
         SECTION 3.  This Act takes effect September 1, 2023.
