5 Democrat priorities to watch in Texas: Marijuana push, red flag laws and Medicaid expansion

By CP Staff

3. Red flag laws revived

Under House Bill 218 by state Rep. Ann Johnson, D-Houston, Texas would repeal a 2025 ban on extreme risk protective orders, commonly known as red flag laws, and allow courts to temporarily remove firearms from people deemed a danger. Other bills would restrict purchases or transfers of certain firearms to people younger than 21.

Texas currently prohibits extreme risk protective orders following a 2025 law signed by Gov. Greg Abbott that banned most such orders and restricted local acceptance of related federal funds.
