	AN ACT
	relating to the application for and expiration of a license to carry
	a handgun.
	BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:
	SECTION 1.  Sections 411.1741(a) and (b), Government Code,
	are amended to read as follows:
	(a)  When a person applies for an original or renewal license
	to carry a [concealed] handgun under this subchapter, the person
	may make a voluntary contribution in any amount to the fund for
	veterans' assistance established by Section 434.017.
	(b)  The department shall:
	(1)  include space on the first page of each
	application for an original or renewal license to carry a
	[concealed] handgun that allows a person applying for an original
	or renewal license to carry a [concealed] handgun to indicate the
	amount that the person is voluntarily contributing to the fund; and
	(2)  provide an opportunity for the person to
	contribute to the fund during the application process for an
	original or renewal license to carry a [concealed] handgun on the
	department's Internet website.
	SECTION 2.  The heading to Section 411.181, Government Code,
	is amended to read as follows:
	Sec. 411.181.  NOTICE OF CHANGE OF INFORMATION; DUPLICATE
	LICENSE [ADDRESS OR NAME].
	SECTION 3.  Section 411.181, Government Code, is amended by
	adding Subsection (a-1) to read as follows:
	(a-1)  If a license holder whose license will expire under
	Section 411.183(a)(1)(B) or (b)(1)(B) is granted an extension for
	the license holder's lawful presence in the United States as
	determined by the United States agency responsible for citizenship
	and immigration in compliance with federal law, the license holder
	may apply to the department for a duplicate license with an updated
	expiration date by providing to the department the person's license
	number and evidence of the extension. The duplicate license must
	provide for an expiration date, calculated in accordance with
	Section 411.183(a) or (b), as applicable, that takes into account
	the extension of the period for which the license holder may be
	lawfully present in the United States.
	SECTION 4.  Sections 411.183(a), (b), and (c), Government
	Code, are amended to read as follows:
	(a)  A license issued under this subchapter expires on:
	(1)  the earlier of:
	(A)  the first birthday of the license holder
	occurring after the fourth anniversary of the date of issuance; or
	(B)  the expiration of the license holder's lawful
	presence in the United States as determined by the United States
	agency responsible for citizenship and immigration in compliance
	with federal law; or
	(2)  the first anniversary of the date of issuance, if
	there is no definite expiration date for the applicant's lawful
	presence in the United States.
	(b)  A renewed license expires on:
	(1)  the earlier of:
	(A)  the license holder's birthdate, five years
	after the date of the expiration of the previous license; or
	(B)  the expiration of the license holder's lawful
	presence in the United States as determined by the United States
	agency responsible for citizenship and immigration in compliance
	with federal law; or
	(2)  the first anniversary of the date of renewal, if
	there is no definite expiration date for the applicant's lawful
	presence in the United States.
	(c)  Except as otherwise provided by Section 411.181(a-1), a
	[A] duplicate license expires on the date the license that was
	duplicated would have expired.
	SECTION 5.  The changes in law made by this Act apply only to
	an application for an original, renewal, or duplicate license to
	carry a handgun submitted on or after the effective date of this
	Act. An application submitted before the effective date of this Act
	is governed by the law in effect on the date the application was
	submitted, and the former law is continued in effect for that
	purpose.
	SECTION 6.  This Act takes effect September 1, 2019.
