After five years, Texas law technically permits possession at the person's own home.

This means that even possession at home by a felon can result in federal prosecution regardless of Texas law. The federal law carries up to 15 years in prison and, for those with three or more prior violent or serious drug felonies, a mandatory minimum of 15 years under the Armed Career Criminal Act (ACCA).

The most powerful path to dismissal is a successful Motion to Suppress Evidence, which seeks to exclude the weapon from evidence because it was discovered through an unlawful stop or search. Without the weapon, the State typically cannot prove the charge. Other dismissal grounds include: the location was not legally prohibited (sign not compliant, no valid 30.06), the defendant was legally eligible to carry and did nothing wrong, the State cannot prove the defendant knowingly possessed the weapon, or deferred adjudication successfully completed.

If the stop lacked reasonable suspicion, or the search exceeded the scope of a valid exception, a motion to suppress can challenge the legality of the search and exclude any weapon found as evidence. You should never physically resist a search \u2014 but you do have the right to clearly state \"I do not consent to a search.\"<\/p>                        <\/div>\n\n                    <\/div>\n\n                <\/div><!-- .elementskit-card END -->\n\n                \n                <div class=\"elementskit-card \">\n                    <div class=\"elementskit-card-header\" id=\"primaryHeading-6-63f35b5c\">\n                        <a href=\"#collapse-4c05d5369e2fe8aa6dec\" class=\"ekit-accordion--toggler elementskit-btn-link collapsed\" data-ekit-toggle=\"collapse\" data-target=\"#Collapse-4c05d5369e2fe8aa6dec\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"Collapse-4c05d5369e2fe8aa6dec\">\n                            \n                            <span class=\"ekit-accordion-title\">I have a License to Carry \u2014 can I still be charged with a weapons offense?<\/span>\n\n                            \n                                <div class=\"ekit_accordion_icon_group\">\n                                    <div class=\"ekit_accordion_normal_icon\">\n                                        <!-- Normal Icon -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<i class=\"jki jki-arrow-up-right-line\"><\/i>                                    <\/div>\n\n                                    <div class=\"ekit_accordion_active_icon\">\n                                        <!-- Active Icon -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<i class=\"jki jki-arrow-up-line\"><\/i>                                    <\/div>\n                                <\/div>\n\n                            \n                                                    <\/a>\n                    <\/div>\n\n                    <div id=\"Collapse-4c05d5369e2fe8aa6dec\" class=\" collapse\" aria-labelledby=\"primaryHeading-6-63f35b5c\" data-parent=\"#accordion-69e2fe8aa6dec\">\n\n                        <div class=\"elementskit-card-body ekit-accordion--content\">\n                            <p>Yes. An LTC is not a blanket authorization to carry anywhere. LTC holders are still prohibited from carrying in the same locations as anyone else \u2014 schools, courts, polling places, and businesses with valid 30.06\/30.07 signage. In fact, for LTC holders specifically, entering a business after receiving oral notice that firearms are prohibited can elevate the offense from a Class A misdemeanor to a third-degree felony under \u00a7 30.06\/30.07. Your LTC also does not protect you if you are intoxicated (carrying while intoxicated is a separate offense under \u00a7 46.035) or if you carry a weapon other than a handgun in an unauthorized manner. An LTC is a significant legal protection \u2014 but it requires understanding its limits.<\/p>                        <\/div>\n\n                    <\/div>\n\n                <\/div><!-- .elementskit-card END -->\n\n                                        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-6fc5c140 case-sidebar jkit-sticky-element--enabled jkit-sticky-element-on--both\" data-id=\"6fc5c140\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;,&quot;jkit_sticky_device&quot;:[&quot;desktop&quot;,&quot;laptop&quot;],&quot;jkit_sticky_top_position&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:80,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;jkit_sticky_bottom_position&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:0,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]}}\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-background-overlay\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3bca5f0d elementor-invisible elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"3bca5f0d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_animation&quot;:&quot;fadeInDown&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Cases We Handle<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-29450dc8 accident-cases-menu elementor-nav-menu--dropdown-none elementor-widget elementor-widget-nav-menu\" data-id=\"29450dc8\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;layout&quot;:&quot;vertical&quot;,&quot;submenu_icon&quot;:{&quot;value&quot;:&quot;&lt;svg aria-hidden=\\&quot;true\\&quot;
