House Bill 2124 amends the Code of Criminal Procedure to require a magistrate to issue an order for emergency protection in a family violence case if the victim sustained serious injury or the assault involved the use or exhibition of a deadly weapon.
In an order for emergency protection in a case involving family violence, the act permits a magistrate to suspend a license to carry a concealed handgun held by the subject of the emergency order. The act requires that immediate notification of the suspension be sent to the Department of Public Safety and specifies certain actions to be taken.
