Why the model tagged it this way: The bill amends Penal Code 46.04(b) to expand the scope of family violence misdemeanors that prohibit firearm possession (by deleting the 'family or household' limit) and to impose a five-year prohibition period after release, both of which add restrictions on firearm ownership for those convicted.
