AI Summary
This bill creates a new subchapter in the Texas Code of Criminal Procedure that establishes "extreme risk protective orders." These orders allow certain individuals, such as family members or law enforcement, to petition a court to temporarily prohibit a person from accessing firearms if the court finds the person poses an immediate danger of causing bodily injury or death. The bill also creates criminal penalties for violating these protective orders or making false reports to law enforcement related to requesting such an order. Additionally, the bill requires the Department of Public Safety to notify the federal government of individuals subject to these orders for inclusion in the National Instant Criminal Background Check System.
