It depends whether it was a Misdemeanor or Felony count of possession. Felons cannot own firearms.
Even in Texas.

No if he has a legal. If he would not your high-quality. also. Texas regulation shall we a convicted felon own a firearm on the premises the position he lives once 5 years have elapsed from his launch from reformatory or from parole, whichever is later. Texas Penal Code §40 six.04. and then federal regulation says It commonly prohibits someone convicted of a criminal offense "punishable through imprisonment for a time period exceeding one twelve months" from possessing a firearm. The attempt is the length of a danger punishment, no longer no matter if the crime is named a misdemeanor or a legal. No exception is made for having a firearm on the homestead, no matter how before the conviction. 18 united statesC. § 922(g). So even if if he has a legal fee (and with 11 months in i assume he does), he would nonetheless be in the sparkling.

I think he would have to go back to court & have a judge sign off that it was O.K. for him to own a gun.
