I have a question? Back in 1978,I was caught with a handgun in a bar. Not causing no trouble just had it in my back pocket. Spent one night in Bexar county jail. Plead guilty to 3rd degree felony. Received 3 yrs. probation and $500 fine. Kept my nose clean since then. I know what I did was very stupid! I am still paying for that one mistake. You don't know what you're missing until it gone(My gun Rights). My question is can I have a gun in my house for protection. I'm looking at Texas Penal Code 46.4. If I read it correctly I can have one in my house only.
§ 46.04. UNLAWFUL POSSESSION OF FIREARM. (a) A person
who has been convicted of a felony commits an offense if he
possesses a firearm:
(1) after conviction and before the fifth anniversary
of the person's release from confinement following conviction of
the felony or the person's release from supervision under community
supervision, parole, or mandatory supervision, whichever date is
later; or
(2) after the period described by Subdivision (1), at
any location other than the premises at which the person lives.
P.S. I ran my name thru "Texas Department of Public Safety - Crime Records Service" and it came up negative.
