Sec. 1202.201. REMOVAL OF FIREARM DISABILITY ON COMPLETE RESTORATION OF WARD'S CAPACITY. (a) A person whose guardianship was terminated because the person's capacity was completely restored may file an application with the court that created the guardianship for an order requesting the removal of the person's disability to purchase a firearm imposed under 18 U.S.C. Section 922(g)(4). (b) At a proceeding involving the complete restoration of the ward's capacity under Subchapter B, the ward or a person interested in the ward's welfare may request an order seeking relief from a firearms disability described by Subsection (a). (c) In determining whether to grant the relief sought under Subsection (a) or (b), the court must hear and consider evidence about: (1) the circumstances that led to imposition of the firearms disability; (2) the person's mental history; (3) the person's criminal history; and (4) the person's reputation. (d) A court may not grant relief under this section unless the court makes and enters in the record the following affirmative findings: (1) the person or ward is no longer likely to act in a manner dangerous to public safety; and (2) removing the person's or ward's disability to purchase a firearm is in the public interest.
