What are the voting rights for a convicted felon in Texas?

Answer 1

Yes, after having fully completed one's sentence (to include incarceration, probation, and/or parole) according the Texas Secretary of State website:

http://www.sos.state.tx.us/elections/pamphlets/faqs.shtml

"In Texas, a convicted felon regains the right to vote after completing his or her sentence. Therefore, once you have completed the punishment phase (including any term of incarceration, parole, or supervision, or completed a period of probation ordered by the court), you would be eligible to register and vote in the state of Texas."

Answer 2

Once a felon has successfully completed his or her punishment, including any term of incarceration, parole, supervision, period of probation, or has been pardoned, then that person is immediately eligible to register to vote.

Answer 3

This is a much discussed subject. Some states grant ex-felons (who have completed their sentences) the right to vote, still many others do not. You would have to check with your local Supervisor of Elections to detemine the law in your particular state.

Answer 4

Yes your PO will give you the proper form the day your Parole is finished. That is here in Texas other States may vary. I know this because I have a current voter card and voted in the Obama/McCain election.

Answer 5

No. A felon may not purchase, possess, or be allowed access to firearms or ammunition in ANY state or territory of the US, period.

Answer 6

No.
