Texas HB505 allows homeless individuals to obtain certified birth records, driver's licenses, and personal identification certificates without fees.

Texas HB505 amends state law to facilitate the issuance of certified birth records, driver's licenses, and personal identification certificates to homeless individuals without fees. The bill defines "homeless individual" as someone lacking a fixed, regular, and adequate nighttime residence or residing in temporary shelters or public places not designed for regular sleeping. The Texas Department of Public Safety must adopt a verification process for homeless status and allow certain letters to certify this status.
