How do I go about getting my firearm.from HPD. Are you able to advise me of what steps to take to get my firearm back from HPD? An associate got my gun taken, the case was dismissed 5 years ago, just want my property back. Does the clerk provide these forms for Court 8 or is this something I can retrieve from online?

Here is a link with information on how to retrieve your property from the Houston Police Department:

This site should help.

Hmm. That link looks familiar.

You just beat me to it.

We appear to have posted at about the same time.

It is nice that we agree the link has the necessary information.

After 5 years, why do you believe that HPD still has your gun?

After 5 years, why do you believe that HPD still has your gun?

And why the delay in seeking its return?

Not without an explanation of how and why "HPD" (which I assume is some local police department) obtained your firearm in the first place.

An associate got my gun taken

What does this mean? An associate of whom? Of you? How did this person "get [your] gun taken"?

the case was dismissed 5 years ago, just want my property back.

What case? In the five years since "the case was dismissed," have you never contacted "HPD" and asked about getting your gun back?

Does the clerk provide these forms for Court 8 or is this something I can retrieve from online?

Not sure what "these forms" or "Court 8" might mean, but I would assume that whether you "can retrieve [them] from online," is something you can figure out yourself with a simple google search.

The Houston Police Department is frequently referred to as HPD.

The procedure for retrieving property held by the police department will be the same, regardless of why the property is being held. What will be different is the success one will have in retrieving it. That is where details can help.

Devyobey first might want to call the property and evidence manager to see if the firearm has been destroyed.

So is the Honolulu Police Department.

So is the Honolulu Police Department.

But OP posted his state is Texas not Hawaii so it's fair to assume that HPD is NOT Honolulu Police Dept but, is indeed, Houston Police Dept.

So is the Honolulu Police Department.

But Honolulu isn't in Texas.
