HB 3452 prohibits public universities in Texas from asking applicants about their criminal or disciplinary history, with exceptions for convictions related to stalking, sex offenses requiring registration, family violence, murder, kidnapping, and certain assault offenses. Universities may still request additional information after admission, provided they do not inquire about restricted offenses. This policy takes effect for applications submitted for the spring 2026 semester​.
