In his School and Firearm Safety Action Plan, released on May 30, Texas Governor Greg Abbott charged House and Senate jurisprudence committees to “study a protective order law to keep guns out of the hands of those mentally unfit to bear arms, but only after legal due process is allowed to ensure Second Amendment rights are not violated.”

Waco attorney Stan Schwieger says without extreme caution in crafting such a statute, there is a conflict, potentially, between the U.S. Constitution’s 2nd Amendment and the state law, which is inferior to the state constitution.


Five states have statutes that allow for the “temporary” confiscation of firearms from a person “by a judge, if they believe individuals pose a threat to themselves or others,” the governor’s charge explained.

Abbott suggested the committee consider “adopting a red flag law allowing law enforcement, a family member, school employee, or a district attorney to file a petition seeking the removal of firearms from a potentially dangerous person only after legal due process is provided”.

As of March 2018, Texas State Rifle Association says, five states have laws that allow guns to be temporarily taken away and in each existing case lawmakers say a proper approach should focus on quickly identifying those who pose a risk without infringing on the rights of lawful gun owners by maintaining the highest standards of due process.

“Red Flag” or “extreme risk” protective orders create a mechanism to separate a potentially dangerous person from firearms for a period of time.

Texas law currently has a system where victims of family violence can seek a protective order that protects both them and the due process rights of those they seek them against.
