YOU SHOULD CONSULT A TEXAS ATTORNEY. This is too serious a matter to allow anyone other than a professional to advise you! Texas has a 3-strike law.

Texas law allows you to posess a firearm AT YOUR PLACE OF RESIDENCE ONLY starting 5 years after your release from prison or parole (whichever is the later date).

HOWEVER, FEDERAL LAW prohibits you from EVER owning a firearm again (including for protection of your residence).
