I believe that there may be a Texas law which allows a felon to possess a handgun IN THEIR RESIDENCE ONLY for self-protection. However I am uncertain of the accuracy of this law and STRONGLY suggest you check it out with the Texas authorities.

Federal Law absolutely prohibits a convicted felon from possessing a fiream but prevailing state statutes may supersede them under carefully limited guidelines.

It isn't illegal for the felon to live in the house, but it is illegal for the felon to have any access to the gun.

Generally speaking, a felon cannot own or even possess a firearm anywhere in the U.S. unless the felon has had his or her rights restored.

THAT is the ONLY reason and that is the only place you may be around a firearm, and you must get permission to do so.

A convicted felon may not possess a FIREARM anywhere in the United States. This is covered by a Federal law. Weapons other than firearms- maybe. Depends on his parole status.
