Felon Relief From Firearm Disabilities
Location: Texas, USA
My brother in law was convicted of a non-violent felony 2 decades ago. He was released from prison some 10+ years ago. My timeline memory is a bit blurry as I was a kid back then, but the estimates should hold true.
I would like some help in understanding and determining how he could go about relieving his disability of possessing a firearm for home defense at minimum (restoring his ability to carry as well if possible), considering the volume of crimes and mass shootings that have occurred in the US in recent years, especially North Texas.
My understanding is that US Code reigns supreme over Texas Code. That is, 18 USC (5)(c) takes precedence over Texas Penal Code 46.04 (a), indicating that an application can be submitted to the Attorney General for relief from disabilities to possess a firearm. I’ve read that there is some apparent “change in process” occurring for this that is rendering the application process temporarily unavailable (not sure if that’s true).
What is this process like? Where is the application, and where should it be submitted?
Since his felony, he has held a steady occupation, completed pipefitter schooling, opened his own mortgage, married my sister, has had 5 children with my sister, and even is almost done paying off his car loan.
Thanks in advance.
