FAQ
Felony Convictions Texas and federal law say different things. Under Texas Penal Code Section 46.04, people with felony convictions cannot have a firearm. If 5 years have passed since the completion of their sentence (including parole or probation), the law allows them to have a gun at their home.
Voting rights, jury duty, firearm possession, professional licenses, and housing are just a few examples of the numerous restrictions felons face under Texas law. It is important to be aware of these limitations and take steps to mitigate their impact on your life.
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. Federal law does not contain that exception.
For instance, the individual must be carrying a firearm on their person, they cannot keep it in the glove box and have a convicted felon in the car. That could be construed as constructive possession, and the felon could be charged with possession of a firearm.
The Second Amendment Permits The Disarming of “Dangerous” Felons. Each year, more than 8,000 people are convicted for unlawful possession of a firearm under 18 U.S.C. § 922(g). About 90% of those cases arose from gun possession by a felon.
If more than 5 years have passed since completing their prison sentence (including parole or probation), the law allows possessing a firearm at home.
Once you have met all of your obligations under the law, Texas's "Second Chance Law" allows you to move on. You can move past a conviction and get on with your life. If you have been convicted or charged with a non-violent, low-level offense, contact Texas DWI lawyer Jason S.
While felons are generally prohibited from possessing firearms, there is an exception that allows them to use firearms at shooting ranges in specific circumstances. Texas law recognizes that shooting ranges are controlled environments where safety measures are in place.
