Is it legal for a felon to have a rifle in Texas?

Answer 1

I believe that there may be a Texas law which allows a felon to possess a handgun IN THEIR RESIDENCE ONLY for self-protection. However I am uncertain of the accuracy of this law and STRONGLY suggest you check it out with the Texas authorities.

Federal Law absolutely prohibits a convicted felon from possessing a fiream but prevailing state statutes may supersede them under carefully limited guidelines.

Answer 2

As far as I know it is not legal for a felon to have any kind of firearm in the state of Texas.

Answer 3

It isn't illegal for the felon to live in the house, but it is illegal for the felon to have any access to the gun.

Answer 4

Generally speaking, a felon cannot own or even possess a firearm anywhere in the U.S. unless the felon has had his or her rights restored.

Answer 5

THAT is the ONLY reason and that is the only place you may be around a firearm, and you must get permission to do so.

Answer 6

Answer 7

Not firearms

Answer 8

Is it illegal for a convicted felon to posess a pellet or b b gun?
