Texas HB4357 requires a search warrant to obtain or use certain purchase information in a criminal action.

Texas HB4357 amends the Code of Criminal Procedure to require a search warrant for obtaining or using records of bank accounts or credit or debit cards related to the sale of firearms or ammunition in criminal investigations or prosecutions. A search warrant can only be issued by a judge in the same judicial district as the law enforcement agency employing the peace officer. The warrant application must be in writing, signed, and sworn before the judge, detailing the applicant's information, the record to be searched, the individual's name, and the judicial district.
