FAQ
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.
Ing to Texas law, while felons cannot carry guns or ammunition outside their own properties, they can legally be in possession of a gun again once five years have passed from the completion of their sentence; five years after the end of jail time, probation, or any other requirements of that conviction.
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.
In Texas, for instance, you lose your right to vote while incarcerated or while you are serving a probated sentence, but it is restored upon completion of your sentence, including parole or probation. Another critical restriction is the loss of the right to possess firearms.
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.
For those with more than one conviction, the court may restore firearms rights two years after completion of sentence for most felonies, or after 10 years for a serious felony (such as murder or sexual assault). For a person convicted of a “dangerous felony” firearms rights may only be restored by pardon.
If more than 5 years have passed since completing their prison sentence (including parole or probation), the law allows possessing a firearm at home.
Collateral Consequences of Felony Convictions Termination from employment and difficulties finding a job. Revocation or suspension of a professional license. Revocation or suspension of a license you hold for your business. Disqualification from running for elected office. Loss of voting rights.
