AI Summary
This bill amends the Texas Code of Criminal Procedure to create a new subchapter on "Extreme Risk Protective Orders." These orders allow certain individuals, such as family members or law enforcement, to apply for a court order to temporarily prohibit a person from possessing firearms if they are found to pose an immediate and present danger of causing bodily injury, serious bodily injury, or death. The bill also creates criminal penalties for violations of these protective orders and requires the Department of Public Safety to report information about these orders to the National Instant Criminal Background Check System.
