I dunno. If a felon is no longer in incarcerated, is there any provision in any law that allows some form of LEO to enter and search their residence without warning or warrant?

I'm not sufficiently versed in Texas law (or, specifically, how to look this up) but I once read that a felon can be convicted of being illegally in possession of a firearm even if it's a black powder firearm that's not a firearm under federal law.
I remember thinking at the time "That sucks. If I'm convicted of a felony, I'll never be able to carry a concealed black powder derringer or go target shooting with a black powder single shot."
I found that prospect disheartening.
I hope I'm wrong about all that.
Good to know. Thanks.You are wrong about that.
Can a Felon live in same house as a Firearm ?
I Am going with IADALIMM.Oh guys, I forgot to warn everyone. According to local and federal gun shop lore.... Any time you post an answer to a question on TGT you have to put the abbreviation IANAL at the beginning or end of your post. That means "I am not a lawyer". The reason is because there is a secret law that says you can be charged with a felony for practicing law without a license when you post on TGT. The government is monitoring your every keystroke and the New York Bar Association SWAT team will kick your door down and drag you to Manhattan NYC criminal court. You don't want Twinkie Alvin Bragg to sit on you. Oh, and if you ARE a lawyer, you have to post your Texas Bar card number and a copy of the retainer signed by the person whose question you are answering engaging you as his attorney. This is required by the canons of ethics that you agreed to when you became a member of the Bar.
IANAL (so suck it Bragg!)
Not that I have ever heard.I dunno. If a felon is no longer in incarcerated, is there any provision in any law that allows some form of LEO to enter and search their residence without warning or warrant?
Are you thinking about parole? At the state level, that’s addressed in TPC 46.04. But either way, the definition in 18 USC 921 specifically allows for state mechanisms to moot the prohibition for a state conviction. Federal conviction requires a presidential pardon to restore forearm rights
<>We haven’t even touched on Lautenberg amendment or alien status, either. Not to mention edge cases of conviction in another state and then relocates to Texas six years after completing the sentence.
Thomas Bean. He won. Either way it became moot 3 years later in Small vs US<>
IIRC, a decade or more back there was a FFL is S E Texas, who was convicted of a felony in Mexico for something which was perfectly legal in Texas, not even a crime at all.
But he lost his FFL. When he petitioned to have his rights reinstated, he lost and was not able to even own any gun.
I never heard any more, so don’t know the end result, if different.

I always viewed this one as Texas respecting people’s right to defend themselves. Just my take on it…From an earlier post........
TPC 46.04 UNLAWFUL POSSESSION OF A FIREARM (A) A person who has been convicted of a felony commits an offense if he possesses a firearm.
(1) after conviction AND BEFORE the fifth anniversary of the person's release from confinement, parole, or mandatory supervision, whichever date is later, or
(2) after the period described by Subdivision (1), at any location OTHER than the premises at which the person lives.
Keep in mind that this is State not Federal.
This does not include all felonies, but some of them.
The way I read it, is that a felon can have a firearm ONLY where he lives. He CANNOT own it but can have one, (borrowed, loaned). But the felon HAS to complete Subdivision (1) first.
Thank you !Thomas Bean. He won. Either way it became moot 3 years later in Small vs US
Forearm lefts are just as important as forearm rightsPersonally I keep my forearms close by pardon or not
