Texas counties failed 800 times to report people for firearm background checks
SUMMARY: A Texas state audit revealed that district and county clerks failed to report over 800 cases of people found incompetent to stand trial to the Department of Public Safety (DPS), a critical step for flagging these individuals in federal firearm background checks. This breakdown, spanning from September 2018 to January 2024, raises concerns about public safety, as these individuals may attempt to purchase firearms. The audit also found significant reporting lapses in counties like Dallas, Bexar, and Smith. The issue mirrors previous failures in federal reporting, such as the Sutherland Springs shooting, prompting calls for better compliance and oversight.
