As long as you've completed your sentence, your rights are restored; however, you need to know what rights you have. In other words, it's up to you to register to vote.
I vote that you be quiet and stop thinking your smart a$$ comments are cute. Everybody makes mistakes, its not fair to serve your time and then spend the rest of your life in chains because now your a second class citizen in your own country. People like myself, that have bills to pay and families to take care of just like everyone else except its harder.
You cannot. Civil unions are not permitted or recognized in Texas.

A Civil Rights advocate. Though that doesn't only apply to African-Americans.
Johnson was from the South ( Texas) which was traditionally against federal intervention in civil rights issues and while a senator he had voted against several civil rights bills.
It helped blacks be treated equally
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.
