Texas HB1910 regulates panhandling on public property by requiring permits and creating a criminal offense for non-compliance.

Texas HB1910 mandates that municipalities with a population of 100,000 or more, and other political subdivisions, adopt ordinances requiring permits for panhandling on public property. These permits cannot be issued electronically and must be printed on paper. The permits are valid for up to 12 consecutive hours and must be carried by the applicant while panhandling. The bill also allows political subdivisions to impose time, place, and manner restrictions on panhandling to enhance public safety and prevent crime.
