HB 396 amends Section 46.04(b) of the Texas Penal Code to expand the prohibition on firearm possession following convictions for certain family violence misdemeanors. It extends the prohibition to all offenses under Section 22.01 of the Penal Code, committed against individuals with specific relationships as defined by the Family Code, rather than being limited to Class A misdemeanors involving family or household members. The prohibition lasts for five years after the offender’s release from confinement or community supervision. The law applies to offenses committed on or after its effective date of September 1, 2025.
