Direction

Firearms purchase background checksAI label

Restricts gun access model confidence 90%

Requires faster and more complete reporting of family-violence protective orders and 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.

Firearms red flag erpoAI label

Restricts gun access model confidence 80%

Mandates prompt entry of certain protective orders into the statewide law-enforcement system (and onward to NICS), enabling their use to restrict firearm transfers under extreme-risk or domestic-violence order prohibitions.

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 adds or accelerates mandatory reporting of protective orders and family-violence misdemeanor convictions to state and federal databases used by the National Instant Criminal Background Check System; this expands the set of records that can disqualify a person from purchasing or receiving a firearm, producing a 'restricts' effect on the firearms axis under both the background-checks and red-flag/ERPO subtags. No other listed topics are substantively addressed.
