Requires faster and more consistent reporting of protective orders and family violence misdemeanor convictions to DPS and the FBI for use in the NICS, so more prohibited persons are flagged during firearm purchase background checks.
The department shall report to the Federal Bureau of Investigation for use with the National Instant Criminal Background Check System each protective order and each conviction for a family violence misdemeanor not later than the third calendar day after the date the department receives information that the protective order or judgment of conviction was entered.

Requires law enforcement to promptly enter protective orders (which can function as firearm prohibitions) into the statewide system and NICS, increasing enforcement of existing extreme-risk-style restrictions on firearm possession.
For an original or modified protective order issued under this subchapter, on receipt of the order from the clerk of the court, a law enforcement agency shall immediately, but not later than the third calendar day after the date the order is received, enter the information required by Section 411.042(b)(6), Government Code, into the statewide law enforcement information system maintained by the Department of Public Safety.

Why the model tagged it this way: The bill mandates timely reporting of certain protective orders and family-violence misdemeanor convictions to state and federal databases used by the NICS for firearm transfers. This improves enforcement of existing prohibitions on firearm possession by prohibited persons, resulting in more restrictions on firearm purchases and access. No provisions expand access, repeal restrictions, or address other listed topics.
