A federal court order has taken effect, lifting certain restrictions on firearms and silencers in Texas. This change applies to some gun groups and government agencies in the state. The restrictions that were lifted had been in place for nearly a century.

The Trump administration's decision not to file an emergency appeal allowed the court order to take effect. As a result, limits on short-barrel firearms and silencers are no longer in place for the affected groups and agencies in Texas. Further details on this development can be found in the Denton Record-Chronicle.
