There is no difference between a bow and a gun, in regards to the law. They are both considered firearms.

First off I would like to say you do not have to be handicap to hunt with a crossbow. But you do hav eto have a note from your doctor stating why you cannot shot a regular bow. My father hunts with a crossbow and we contacted TPW for the answer. As far as being a felon goes I believe you can be in possesion of a crossbow. It does not meet the definition of a firearm but I would be cautious. You can find the details in Penal Code, §46.01. Just google it and it will take you right to the page. Good luck.
