Hm. The Travis County Office of the District Attorney sure could have used a proofreader on that. How can a municipal office of that size not even bother to do one editing read of a document like that? Reminds me of Jill Biden's Ed.D. dissertation.srothstein wrote: ↑Tue May 25, 2021 10:03 pm I happened to catch this on a YouTube video. Has anyone here seen the new gun policies that Travis County District Attorney has just put into place if you are arrested and want a bond? They are some pretty serious restrictions and go way to far in my opinion. I might agree with this in a few conditions but not anywhere nearly as many as he says he wants.

Geez. And I thought Harris County's DA was falling off the left side of the flat earth. Travis County wins that one. And note that a defendant doesn't simply get his guns back after a favorable adjudication. In all instances--even a not guilty verdict or case dismissed--the defendant has to formerly appeal to the DA's office for return of his firearms and the office will run a new background check. Return of the firearms then requires a court order.
And note the final #6 catch-all for the conditions under which a defendant will not be permitted to possess firearms: "Any case, even if not within the above scenarios, where an ADA believes that a firearm surrender is necessary for public safety." In other words, at the total and unilateral discretion of an assistant district attorney.
