Creates a process for family, household members, or peace officers to petition for court-issued extreme risk protective orders that prohibit a respondent from purchasing, owning, possessing, or controlling firearms based on evidence of serious mental illness and danger, requires relinquishment ofany
the court, without further notice to the respondent and without a hearing, may issue a temporary ex parte order prohibiting the respondent from purchasing, owning, possessing, or controlling a firearm.
Why the model tagged it this way: The bill creates and details a new extreme risk protective order (red-flag/ERPO) process in Texas law, allowing petitions based on mental illness and firearm-related danger, temporary ex parte and full orders prohibiting firearm purchase/possession with relinquishment and LTC suspension requirements, reporting to NICS, and new criminal penalties for violations or false reports. All provisions substantively address the firearms/red-flag-erpo topic and move the axis toward greater restrictions on firearm access for covered individuals; no other listed topics are substantively addressed.
