FAQ
There is currently only one way for a felon to regain the right to possess a firearm in Texas. He or she will need to seek a full pardon. The governor issues very few pardons every year, so pardon is unlikely and quite expensive.
Generally speaking, people in Texas can carry guns wherever guns are not prohibited. Some places are always off-limits. At other types of places, the property owner or the person in control of the property can choose whether to allow guns.
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.
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.
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 Second Amendment protects an individual right to possess a firearm unconnected with service in a militia, and to use that arm for traditionally lawful purposes, such as self-defense within the home.”
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.
Who wrote the Second Amendment? The Second Amendment, ratified in 1791, was proposed by James Madison to allow the creation of civilian forces that can counteract a tyrannical federal government.
There have been 27 amendments to the Constitution, beginning with the Bill of Rights, the first 10 amendments, ratified December 15, 1791.
The Second Amendment granted citizens that right — giving them the ability to defend themselves and their property. Though times have changed dramatically, the need for defenses afforded by the Second Amendment has remained much the same. “…the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.”
