SB 1748 enhances firearm dispossession requirements for individuals convicted of misdemeanor family violence offenses. It mandates that courts provide written and oral notice to convicted individuals that they are prohibited from possessing or transferring firearms or ammunition. The bill also requires them to complete and return an affidavit within 48 hours, certifying that they have lawfully surrendered or transferred their firearms. Law enforcement agencies will receive copies of the affidavit and judgment. Additionally, the Texas Commission on Law Enforcement must develop model policies to assist agencies in implementing the new procedures​.
