Texas DPS stops enforcing handgun age limits for young adults
Shannon Edmonds, director of governmental relations for the Texas District and County Attorneys Association, said it may take time for word of the court ruling to filter out to all 254 counties.
The recent DPS memo will “control the conduct of DPS officers,” he said. “It does not apply to any police department, any sheriff’s department, any constable. They all have to make their own decisions on how they’re going to enforce it.”In a statement, Dallas Police spokesperson Kristin Lowman said: “We have not read the ruling – there has been no change as to how we enforce the law.
