Domestic Violence

Texas law says most people named in domestic violence protective orders can’t have guns — but there’s no statewide system to make that happen. And some Texas legislators want to change that.

Beard had been suspended without pay since his arrest on Dec. 12. He was in the second year of a seven-year $35 million contract with UT Austin.

Federal law prevents some convicted domestic abusers from owning a gun, depending on their relationship to the victim. The new gun safety bill would expand that definition to include dating partners.

More than four years after a former airman killed 26 people at a rural Texas church, advocates say the military still needs to do more to prevent violent service members and veterans from owning guns.

Advocates are worried that a last-minute law change means that students who need information about dating violence and child abuse will be the least likely to receive it.
