SB 2305 Texas Senate · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to extreme risk protective orders; creating criminal offenses.

SB 2305 creates a legal process for courts to issue temporary orders removing firearms from individuals who pose an immediate threat of harm to themselves or others. Applications can be filed by family/household members, guardians of minors in the household, or police officers, requiring specific allegations about dangerous firearm-related behavior and a statement of immediate danger. Courts may grant emergency temporary orders without the respondent present if the application meets legal standards. The bill also establishes confidentiality protections for health information in these cases and creates new criminal offenses related to violations of such orders.
