Relating to extreme risk protective orders and certain other protective orders prohibiting possession of a firearm; creating criminal offenses.

HB 2570 amends Texas law to allow courts issuing extreme risk protective orders (ERPOs) and certain other protective orders to explicitly prohibit the alleged offender from possessing firearms, with limited exceptions for peace officers and military personnel. This directly affects individuals subject to such protective orders, requiring courts to include firearm prohibitions as a standard provision. Key mechanisms include court-ordered bans on firearm possession (except for authorized personnel), specific restrictions on communication and location, and clear penalties for violations. The bill creates criminal offenses for violating these firearm prohibitions, with penalties including fines up to $500 or jail time up to six months. It does not change who can petition for ERPOs but standardizes firearm prohibitions within these orders.
