FAQ
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.
A full restoration of rights, however, can only be achieved by submitting an application to the Clemency Section of the Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles. Without being granted a pardon, a felon's right to possess a firearm is limited to the place where they are living.
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.
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.
Under this description, most muzzleloaders and black powder guns would be considered antique firearms. Due to their unique characteristics, these antique weapons are excluded from the definition of firearms under Texas state and federal law. This means that a felon can own an antique firearm without prohibition.
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.
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.
