HB 2382 Texas House · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to the unlawful transfer or purchase of certain weapons; creating a criminal offense.

HB 2382 amends Texas law to create criminal penalties for specific unlawful firearm transfers or purchases. It prohibits selling, giving, or renting handguns or certain weapons to minors (under 18), people prohibited from owning guns (like those with felony convictions or active protective orders), or intoxicated individuals. Violations are typically Class A misdemeanors, but selling to minors or making false statements on firearm forms becomes a state jail felony. The law directly affects gun sellers, dealers, and anyone transferring firearms, making these specific actions illegal under Texas Penal Code.
