Texas Active Shooter Alert System Bill Heads to Greg Abbott’s Desk
The bill will create an active shooter alert system and is named after a victim of the mass shooting in Midland/Odessa on August 31, 2019.
According to NewsWest 9, House Bill 103 is a bill filed by State Representative Brooks Landgraf and named after Leilah Hernandez who was the youngest victim of the mass shooting in Midland/Odessa in 2019.
The bill is headed to Governor Abbott s desk after unanimously passing in the Texas Senate on Wednesday and Rep. Landgraf thanks his colleagues in the Texas Senate for their support.
“I’m thankful to my colleagues in the House and Senate especially Sen. Judith Zaffirini, who represents Sutherland Springs for the unwavering support for this necessary policy,” said Landgraf. “HB 103 did not receive a single negative vote at any stage of the legislative process. Texans have spoken: our state needs the active shooter alert system required by the Leilah Hernandez Act.”
With this bill, State Representative Brooks Landgraf will look to stop the implementation of any federal overreaching regulations on oil and gas production in Texas.

ODESSA, Texas State Representative Brooks Landgraf s bill has passed out of the house with a vote of 145-1.
The bill will bolster Monica s law, which was named after an Odessa mother who was murdered by her ex-boyfriend.
“Last session, we passed Monica’s Law to create the Texas Protective Order Registry to include protective orders issued as a result of domestic violence,” Landgraf said. “The registry has been a huge success, so we want to improve the tool further with HB 2702 by including protective orders for victims of sexual assault or abuse, indecent assault, stalking, and human trafficking in the database as well.”
