Yes, as long as he is not living with the wife. One person's criminal record has no legal consequences for that of another person not residing with them, regardless of their relationship to that person. Since it is illegal in Texas for a convicted felon to be in close proximity to a firearm, the husband would be in violation of the law for residing in a home that contained firearms.
