Individuals may apply to the Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles for restoration of firearm rights after they have been granted a full pardon, and instructions and an application form are provided on its website.
In Texas, there are different pardons for different circumstances. You can apply for a Pardon, Pardon with Firearms Rights Restoration, or a Firearms Rights Restoration if you were previously granted a pardon but did not specifically request to include the restoration of firearms rights.
The eligibility criteria for a pardon in Texas are meticulously outlined, ensuring that only those who have shown genuine rehabilitation and transformation can apply. Typically, individuals who have completed their sentences, including any parole or probation periods, may be eligible.
Texas law says no, but it contains an exception. Section 46.04 of the Texas Penal Code makes it illegal for someone convicted of a felony to possess a firearm. If more than 5 years have passed since completing their prison sentence (including parole or probation), the law allows possessing a firearm at home.
