Do you still have any firearm disabilities in Texas when you have a full pardon and restoration of full civil rights and a letter of restoration from the secretary of the treasury?
no! a full pardon & restoration of full civil rights without an "express" limitation according to u.s.c. 921 @ 20 negates that conviction & it does not count as a conviction for purposes of firearm ownership/possession. see also: texas attorney general john cornyn's op [opinion] jc-0396. a convicted felon who has a full unconditional pardon is not subject to federal firearm disabilities nor is he considered "convicted" under texas penal code 46.04 see also: the most recent version of tex penal code 46.04 sept 1, 2003. the term convicted does not include a felon who has received a full, unconditional pardon. i am not a lawyer, i am a convicted felon with all of the above. maybe i should be a lawyer as i seem to know the law better than any lawyers i have met
