Texas HB2771 amends firearm possession laws for convicted felons, prohibiting possession for five years post-release or parole.

Texas HB2771 modifies the Texas Penal Code to restrict firearm possession by individuals convicted of certain felonies. Under the new law, a person convicted of a specified felony offense cannot possess a firearm until five years after their release from confinement or the end of their supervision period, whichever is later. Additionally, possession is prohibited at any location other than their residence after this five-year period. The law applies to offenses committed before, on, or after the effective date, but does not affect final convictions that existed on the effective date.
