Texas law and federal law have several weapons offenses. Common weapons offenses include:

• Unlawfully carrying a weapon

• Discharging a firearm in a public place or certain municipalities

• Felon in a possession of a weapon

• Possessing or selling prohibited weapons

• Carrying a weapon into a prohibited area

• Carry or Use of a Firearm During Violent or Drug Crime

• False Statement to Firearms Dealer

Punishments for weapons cases can be severe. Recently, the government has increased prosecutions for “straw man” purchases, or when someone buys a firearm for someone else.
