      Dallas Weapon Charges Attorneys

      In the state of Texas, there are strict laws regarding the possession and use of weapons. A violation of weapon laws will result in serious weapon charges, which could result in a revocation of your right to own a firearm. While we think of weapons charges involving only firearms, it is essential to recognize that many different weapons are prohibited by Texas law.

      What Weapons Are Illegal In Texas?

      The following are weapons that are illegal to own except, in certain cases, such as antiques:

      • Machine guns

      In Texas, weapon offenses can result in severe penalties. Here are some examples of weapon offenses and their corresponding penalties:
