Texas HB2250 amends the criminal offense of making a firearm accessible to a child.

Texas HB2250 amends the criminal offense of making a firearm accessible to a child by defining "child" as a person younger than 18 years of age. It specifies that a person commits an offense if a child gains access to a readily dischargeable firearm and the person with criminal negligence failed to secure the firearm or left it in a place where the child could gain access. The bill also provides affirmative defenses, such as supervised access for lawful purposes or lawful defense by the child.
