If you are a conviceted felon can your husband own a firearm and keep it in the home for protection if you live in Texas?
This is a situation where you would go wrong if you only looked at Texas law. Texas law lets a convicted felon possess a firearm on the premises where he lives once five years have elapsed from his release from prison or from parole, whichever is later. Texas Penal Code §46.04. However, federal law is much stricter. It generally prohibits a person convicted of a crime "punishable by imprisonment for a term exceeding one year" from possessing a firearm. The test is the length of possible punishment, not whether the crime is called a misdemeanor or a felony. No exception is made for having a firearm at the home, no matter how long ago the conviction. 18 U.S.C. § 922(g). Also, Federal law makes it unlawful for anyone under indictment for a crime punishable by imprisonment for a term exceeding one year to receive (possess) any firearm or ammunition which has been shipped or transported in interstate or foreign commerce. 18 U.S.C. § 922(n).

What apartment complexes in Sarasota Florida will rent to a reformed felon?
There is no such thing as a reformed felon -- either you are a convicted felon or you're not: end of story. That being said, only time will minimize the impact of your felony conviction, unless you are conviction is for violent or sexual offense -- something no apartment would ever rent to someone convicted of. In Florida you have to apply for the restoration of your civil rights. If it's been five years since the day you left prison or probation, and the offense is nonviolent or sexual in nature, this application process is relatively simple and will easily be granted. If it's for a violent offense, but not sexual in nature, you may be able to apply for your civil rights restoration in 15 years. Finally, if your offense is sexual in nature you may be able to apply for remission from having to register as a sex offender and restoration of your civil rights after at least 20 years. The time frame I mentioned is not the day that you were convicted: it is the last day you served on probation or incarceration, whichever occurred later.
