Relating to the creation of certain criminal offenses concerning firearm sales at gun shows; authorizing a fee.

HB 828 requires background checks and recordkeeping for firearm sales at gun shows in Texas. It defines a "gun show" as an event with three or more exhibitors charging fees for display or admission, and mandates that sellers must complete a National Instant Criminal Background Check before each sale (with exceptions for peace officers and licensed handgun carriers). Sellers may charge the actual cost of the background check, and promoters must notify local law enforcement 30 days in advance of events. Violations are classified as Class A misdemeanors, affecting gun show sellers and promoters directly.
