Why the model tagged it this way: The bill amends Penal Code 46.06 to add a new offense prohibiting knowing transfers of firearms to people with specific court-ordered mental health or incapacity statuses (new (a)(8)), which restricts firearm transfers; it also adds a restoration/relief defense under (e) that partially offsets this, yielding mixed for that provision. Existing subsections on transfers to minors, intoxicated persons, felons, and those under protective orders are unchanged except for renumbering and a minor deletion of 'or'. No other listed topics are substantively addressed.
