Summary Texas Democrat lawmakers have filed at least 23 firearm-related bills ahead of the 90th legislative session, proposing restrictions on firearm purchases, new background-check requirements, and the implementation of red-flag laws.
Before the 2027 legislative session has even begun, Texas Democrats have prefiled a broad gun control package targeting private transfers, semiautomatic rifles, adults under 21, dealer reporting, and court ordered firearm removals.
One bill would let a judge order a firearm seized without notifying the owner or holding a hearing first, and repeal the 2025 law that barred red-flag enforcement.
