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.
