Texas is About to Criminalize Being Homeless
Governor Gregg Abbott has already signaled that he is ready to sign H.B. 1925. That’s the legislation that would make it a fineable offense to “camp out” on public lands (also known as “being homeless”).
Via Twitter Abbott said, “One step closer to my desk for signing! Thank you” in reference to the bill.
The bill would not allow jail time as punishment but would permit a $500 fine for people camping on public property, including parks, sidewalks and at bridges and overpasses.
