This may be old news, but it is the best I can find: A felon may not possess a gun until five years after release from prison (or from parole, or community supervision, etc., whichever is later) and then, only at the premises where the person lives (see Penal Code § 46.04). A violation is a 3rd degree felony.
A gun for protection is more likely to get you into trouble than not. You may want to reconsider its value to you.

∙ 8y agoYou will need to start by hiring an attorney familiar with Texas law- you are going to need them. You can apply for a Gubernatorial Pardon- and that is the only way of fully restoring your right to own a firearm in Texas. The conviction cannot have involved violence, guns or drugs, and sentence must have been fully served.
The Penal Code 46.04 mentioned below does NOT give relief under Federal law. An unpardoned Texas felon who possesses a gun at his residence may be in compliance with State law, but is still subject to arrest under FEDERAL law. Go hire an attorney.
