Weapons Crime Attorneys in Fort Worth

Experienced Trial Lawyers Prepared to Fight for You in Court.

Texas law permits virtually any person to possess a firearm within their home or inside of a locked location within their vehicles. However, you can be charged with a firearm or weapon offense in Texas if you carry your handgun in an unlawful location. Additionally, a convicted felon is prohibited from carrying a weapon and can be charged. Convictions for weapon offenses can have serious penalties that include a permanent criminal record, heavy fines, jail or prison time, and prohibitions on your ability to even own a firearm in the future.
