Possession of Prohibited Weapons

In addition to the unlawful carrying of a weapon charge, there is also a “possession of prohibited weapons” charge to encompass other weapons that the UCW charge does not cover.

Texas Penal Code Section 46.05 defines possession of prohibited weapons as any person who intentionally or knowingly possesses, manufactures, transports, repairs, or sells an explosive weapon, machine gun, short-barrel firearm, firearm silencer, switchblade knife, knuckles, armor-piercing ammunition, chemical-dispensing device, zip gun, or a tire deflation device.

This is classified as a third degree felony, unless it is a tire-deflation device (in which case it is a State Jail felony), or a switchblade knife or knuckles (both of which are class A misdemeanors).

If you have been charged with possession of a prohibited weapon, you need to act fast. Do not delay in hiring a qualified, competent prohibited weapon defense attorney. Call 1-713-972-1100 and speak with me about your case today!

They did a great job getting rid of my parking and speeding tickets. I recommended them to my friends and family. And they've also experienced the same professionalism and great quality service at an affordable price.

Dustan and his staff create the best team. They know the law, and made me feel like I was involved and understood everything that was going on. Dustan took the time to explain to me and my family what we could expect, and then led the way.
