WomensLaw serves and supports all survivors, no matter their sex or gender.
In Texas, most counties do not have a procedure for storing the abuser’s gun. Even though the law says the abuser is not allowed to have a gun, there is no guarantee that the gun will be removed and stored. However, if the abuser is caught possessing (having) a firearm in violation of the law, s/he should be arrested and prosecuted for possession.
