Forces the sale to an FFL or by the government. You do not have the option of giving/selling them to a friend, family member or relative.

HB 1713 - Surrendering Firearms if convicted of family violence or subject to a protective order

https://capitol.texas.gov/BillLookup/Hi ... ill=HB1713

If you are subject to a protective order or convicted of family violence or a felony:

You must sell your firearms to an FFL, or surrender them to a law enforcement agency. Receipts of the disposition must be filed with the court.

You can get your firearms back from the LE agency if your conviction is vacated, dismissed, reversed on appeal or otherwise discharged and the LE agency determines that you are not prohibited from possessing a firearm according to state and federal law. Otherwise the LE agency will sell your guns and give you the proceeds (minus costs for sale and storage).
