Texas felon

Yes. I know of several friends that have no felony conviction but finished their probation for deferred felony indictment and they CHL.

So one more question on the subject.... Can a person own a gun that was on a deferred for a felony but have met all conditions of their probation and the length of the probation period passed since they were never actually convicted? Originally Posted by AlexandriaSquirtz

If you're talking about deferred probation, the answer is yes, unless there was an affirmative finding of family violence ("domestic violence" under federal law).

Even if you get deferred probation for a misdemeanor, if there is a finding of family violence, you cannot posses a firearm under federal law. TX law allows it, but federal law doesn't.

It's a pretty wordy law, but it lays it all out...
