Establishes a housing program for veterans in Texas prisons who served at least 180 days on active duty and were honorably discharged.

The bill mandates the Texas Department of Criminal Justice to create a housing program for inmates who are veterans with at least 180 days of active duty and an honorable discharge. The program must designate specific cellblocks or dormitories and include procedures for verifying inmate eligibility and allowing eligible veterans to opt into the program. The department must comply with certain requirements and may not house an inmate in the designated housing if it would jeopardize safety or security. The program can also house non-veteran inmates if necessary.
