HB 1668 increases the criminal penalty for the offense of enticing a child, as defined under Section 25.04 of the Texas Penal Code. The bill reclassifies the offense from a Class B misdemeanor to a third-degree felony. Additionally, if it is shown during trial that the actor intended to sexually violate or abuse the child, the offense becomes a second-degree felony. The bill also amends the Code of Criminal Procedure to include this offense in the list of those requiring sex offender registration if the conduct is punishable as a second-degree felony. These changes apply only to offenses committed on or after the effective date of the bill, which is September 1, 2025.
