Creates a new state firearm registration system administered by DPS with rules, fees, update requirements, and a Class C misdemeanor penalty for failure to register, so more restrictions on firearms.
A person commits an offense if the person fails to register a firearm in violation of this subchapter. (b) An offense under Subsection (a) is a Class C misdemeanor.
Why the model tagged it this way: The bill creates a new firearm registration requirement for residents acquiring guns or new residents bringing them into Texas, with application details, fees, updates, and a criminal offense for noncompliance. This falls under firearms with subtags for purchase-background-checks (as it mandates registration on acquisition) and other (general registration system and penalty). No other listed topics are substantively addressed.
