Relating to the creation of certain criminal offenses concerning firearm sales at gun shows.

HB 201 requires sellers at gun shows in Texas to conduct federal background checks (via the National Instant Criminal Background Check System) before selling firearms and to maintain sales records. It directly affects gun show sellers and promoters, who must ensure background checks are completed for all sales (except to peace officers or licensed handgun carriers) and provide written notice to local law enforcement 30 days before the event. The bill adds criminal penalties for non-compliance, making violations Class A misdemeanors. These changes aim to align gun show sales with federal background check requirements for firearm transactions.
