Weapons Charges in Texas: Navigating the Legal Landscape

Facing weapons charges in Texas can be a daunting experience, as the state takes a firm stance on crimes related to the use, possession, and discharge of firearms. At Barton & Associates, Attorneys at Law, PLLC, we recognize the complexity of weapons-related allegations and are here to provide crucial information for individuals navigating these legal challenges.

Understanding Various Weapons Charges:

Weapons charges in Texas encompass a range of offenses, including but not limited to:

  1. Unlawful Carrying of a Weapon (UCW): Charges related to carrying weapons unlawfully, such as carrying a handgun without a license.
  2. Aggravated Assault with a Deadly Weapon: Involves the use of a weapon to cause serious bodily injury or the threat of imminent harm.
  3. Discharging a Firearm in a Municipality: Charges associated with the unlawful discharge of a firearm within city limits.
  4. Possession of Prohibited Weapon: Involves possession of weapons considered illegal in Texas, such as brass knuckles, certain knives, or explosive devices.

Potential Consequences of Weapons Charges:

Weapons charges can lead to severe consequences, including:

  1. Criminal Penalties: Convictions may result in fines, probation, or imprisonment, depending on the nature and severity of the offense.
  2. Firearm License Issues: Convictions may lead to the revocation or denial of a concealed carry license or your ability to open carry in Texas going forward.
  3. Enhanced Penalties: Certain factors, such as prior convictions or the use of a weapon in the commission of another crime, can lead to enhanced penalties.
  4. Impact on Future Opportunities: A weapons conviction may have repercussions on employment, housing, and educational opportunities.

Our Clients Say...

We first met with Gary and he was very informative and said from the beginning he believed my husband’s case can be dismissed. We worked with Andrea and she always answered our questions in a timely matter. Then we met Brittany. Brittany was amazing!! Once in court after 24 hours we had a motion for dismissal filed. She was very thorough and explained everything to us. She answered all our questions. Highly recommend Barton & Associates to anyone!
— Jessica Horne

They go above and beyond for you!
— Ann Perez
Look no further. I was charged with a Class A misdemeanor with an additional charge in the toughest county in Texas (Comal County). Not only did they manage to get the state prosecutor to drop the additional charge but they also managed to lower my charge from a class A misdemeanor to a class B misdemeanor which resulted in a plea deal that only involved differed adjudication probation for me. This means that once my probation is over, the charge would be dismissed and ultimately expunged from my record. Throughout the whole process, any and all questions were quickly answered,…

I wanted to wait until my case had every “i” and “t” dotted – and I know that making this review says a bit about me — but Barton & Assoc. have been an incredible and examplar help in my case, which was one of plainly dumb error. You will probably not have a basis of comparison, much like I didn’t, because most normal humans don’t look up reviews of criminal attorneys often. There may eventually come a time where a normally law abiding person needs their services though, and when you do this firm is exceptional.
— Alfred MacDonald
I cannot express enough how amazing this law firm is!!! The situation I was in was over the top stressful beyond measure. But then I came across Barton & Associates and it’s like everything just felt at ease after I asked them to handle my case. To start, I was originally denied to travel to Florida to do Hurricane work for the State of Florida Government by the State of Florida. But Mr. Barton was NOT having that. He knew it was my career, my bills, and my life. Mr. Barton wrote a letter within half an hour to the…

Gary is a tremendous person, I sat down with him, and let him know how I was feeling, and how I saw things proceeding. Gary told me it was going to be alright no matter what and listend intently. I feel like he had my best interest in mind as a person and treated me kindly and honestly. I left his office way better than I walked in and I cant be more thankful for that.
