Weapon Laws

Gun laws and other weapon laws regulate all aspects of weapon use, including:

• Possession
• Licensing
• Carrying
• Transporting
• Use
• Sale
• Manufacturing
• Importation

Whether you can possess, use, or sell a weapon also depends on whether you belong to any certain categories.

If you fall into one of the following categories, you are prohibited from purchasing, receiving, or possessing a firearm:

• Felons and individuals who are awaiting trial on felony charges
• Drug users or addicts who test positive for drugs
• Illegal aliens and aliens who were legally admitted into the U.S. under non-immigrant visas
• Anyone who is under a domestic restraining order
• Anyone with a prior domestic violence conviction
• Fugitives who have fled the state to avoid prosecution or testifying in a criminal case

Knowingly selling or giving a firearm or ammunition to someone who belongs to one of these categories can result in a prison sentence up to 10 years.

Texas defines a firearm as any device designed or adapted to expel a projectile through a barrel. The state defines “serious bodily injury” as any injury that creates a substantial risk of death, that causes death, or that causes serious permanent disfigurement.
