SB 2144 expands the authority of reserve peace officers in Texas. It allows sheriffs, constables, and police chiefs to authorize reserve deputies and officers to carry weapons and act as peace officers at all times, rather than only while on duty. The bill also clarifies that reserve officers cannot perform private security work without a license and ensures that they do not qualify for full-time officer benefits.
