HB 379 amends Section 33A.051 of the Texas Penal Code concerning the offense of false caller identification information display. The bill modifies the definition of the offense, removing the requirement that it be committed with intent to defraud or cause harm. The general offense is now a Class B misdemeanor, with enhancement to a Class A misdemeanor if intent to defraud or cause harm is proven. Additionally, it introduces an affirmative defense for actors displaying a working number legally associated with themselves, their employer, or entities they represent. The bill applies prospectively, beginning September 1, 2025.
