Relating to the prohibition on the possession of a firearm by a person following the person's conviction of certain family violence misdemeanors.

SB 793 extends the prohibition on firearm possession for individuals convicted of certain family violence misdemeanors under Texas law. It applies specifically to those convicted of offenses involving family or household members (as defined in Texas Family Code sections 71.0021(b), 71.003, or 71.005) and prohibits firearm possession until the fifth anniversary of either their release from jail or completion of community supervision. The bill takes effect September 1, 2025, and does not apply to offenses committed before that date. This change directly affects people with prior family violence misdemeanor convictions who seek to legally possess firearms after their release.
