House Bill 918 amends the Government Code to make individuals who are at least 18 years of age but not yet 21 years of age eligible for a handgun license if they are protected under certain court orders issued with respect to family violence, stalking, compelling prostitution, or certain sexual or trafficking offenses and meet all other license requirements except the minimum age required under federal law to purchase a handgun. The bill provides for a protective order designation on a handgun license issued to these individuals and sets out provisions relating to license application and expiration as well as requirements for the license holder when carrying a handgun.
