Good question. I can't speak for Texas. In Colorado, the biggest problem is the courts will tell defendants they have to give up their guns, but many times, no one checks that it is done. And in many counties, there is nowhere to turn them in even if they want to. The law was written to turn them in, but there was no money provided to create places that would take them. But I'm not sure what the situation is in Texas...just assuming they might not have put enough money into the gun check computer system.
