Relating to the prosecution of the criminal offense of unlawful transfer of a firearm.
HB 1692 amends Texas Penal Code Section 46.06 to make specific firearm transfers criminal offenses. It prohibits selling, renting, or giving firearms to people who: intend unlawful use, are under 18, are intoxicated, have recent felony convictions, are subject to active protective orders, or have certain mental health or legal statuses (like being determined incompetent to stand trial or receiving inpatient mental health treatment). The bill directly affects firearm sellers, dealers, and anyone involved in transferring firearms to these prohibited groups. It expands criminal liability for knowingly facilitating such transfers, including making false statements on required firearm forms.
