Relating to certain criminal offenses concerning the unlawful transfer or purchase of certain weapons; increasing a criminal penalty.

HB 3541 amends Texas law to expand criminal penalties for certain firearm transfers and purchases. It specifically prohibits selling firearms to minors under 18, selling to intoxicated individuals, selling to people recently released from felony convictions (within 5 years), selling handguns during active protective orders, and purchasing handguns while under a protective order. The bill also makes it illegal to provide false information on firearm transfer forms required by law. These changes apply to anyone buying or selling firearms in Texas, increasing penalties for violations of these specific provisions.
