Relating to the establishment of the Texas Do-Not-Sell Registry for firearms.
HB 3419 creates a Texas Do-Not-Sell Registry for firearms, allowing eligible Texas residents to voluntarily restrict their access to firearms. Residents aged 18+ who are not prohibited from owning guns can submit a waiver form (with government ID) to the state, choosing either a temporary 180-day restriction or an indefinite one. The registry collects personal information and shares it with the Federal Bureau of Investigation for use in the National Instant Criminal Background Check System. This mechanism directly affects Texans seeking to temporarily or permanently limit their firearm purchase rights through a state-administered process.
