Relating to requiring certain persons prohibited by law from owning, possessing, or controlling a firearm to dispose of firearms owned, possessed, or controlled by the person.

HB 857 requires individuals prohibited by law from owning firearms - such as those convicted of family violence offenses or felonies, subject to protective orders, or under bond conditions restricting firearm possession - to dispose of all firearms they own within 10 days. The bill mandates courts to issue written notice and a disposal order, followed by an affidavit confirming firearm disposal or lack of possession. This applies to specific court outcomes under existing Texas law, adding procedural steps to enforce firearm restrictions. The law does not create new prohibitions but establishes a clear process for compliance and documentation.
