Texas HB2063 mandates the creation of a real-time database of firefighting equipment available for wildfire response.

Texas HB2063 requires the Texas A&M Forest Service to create and maintain a comprehensive database showing the statewide inventory of firefighting equipment available for use in responding to wildfires. The database must include descriptions of the equipment and contact information for each fire department. It must be searchable by location and equipment type, and accessible to all fire departments for updating information. The forest service may assist fire departments in updating the database annually or as soon as practicable after any change in equipment availability.
