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.
