Will I do federal time for an unlawful possession of a firearm in the state of Texas but my record is clean

Tristan Nicolas Legrande
Answered by attorney Tristan Nicolas Legrande
Criminal Law lawyer at LeGrande Law
If you were charged under TX law, Unlawful  carry of a firearm is a class A misdemeanor. The punishment range is up to 1 yr in county jail, and a fine up to $4k. You may have legal or factual defenses; and, you may be able to do probation, not jail time. In some instances, we even get these dismissed after the person completes conditions - just keep in mind that every case is different, and many factors will come into play. Under Federal law there are firearm offenses as well, but most often are prosecuted where there is an illegal weapon (full auto, sawed off shotgun, etc), or the person is a convicted felon with a firearm. "not reading your rights." - this only matters if you are questioned after being taken into custody. Your miranda rights attach when you are arrested and intereogated. If they don't question you after arrest, it really makes no difference. Hire a lawyer you trust for the best outcome. You can't choose your appointed attorney, but if you cannot afford to hire someone, make sure to follow up with appointed counsel frequently.

What happens if I get pulled over and have a suspended license?

Philip Daniel Hache
Answered by attorney Philip Daniel Hache
Criminal Law lawyer at Law Offices of Phil Hache
If your license is suspended and you get pulled over, there will likely be charged with VC 14601, or one of it's subsections. The specific charge would depend on why your license is suspended. For instance, if your license was suspended for a DUI conviction, the charge would be VC 14601.2. Then penalty can also differ depending on the exact charge, but can include mandatory Jail time. In short, if you have not been pulled over and charged with driving on a suspended license yet, don't risk it. It is not worth the risk. If you have been charged, I would recommend speaking to an attorney about your case in order to potentially get the charges dismissed or mitigate consequences.
