Document:
Many people know that the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution guarantees them the right to keep and bear arms, but there are federal laws against certain activities relating to weapons by certain people. A person who is convicted of a federal weapon or firearms crime can face several years in prison as well as huge fines.
There are several federal weapons and firearm laws that not only affect convicted felons, but also legal firearms owners, licensed manufacturers, and licensed dealers. If you have been charged with any kind of federal weapons or firearm offense, you should immediately seek the help of an experienced Texas criminal defense attorney.
Horak Law defends clients throughout the Houston area against these types of charges. We assist people in such communities as Conroe, Galveston, League City, Missouri City, Pasadena, Pearland, Richmond-Rosenberg, Spring, Sugar Land, and The Woodlands.
Matt Horak is admitted to all Texas state courts and U.S. District Courts in the Southern District of Texas. He can review your case and discuss your legal options when you call him at (713) 225-8000 or toll-free at (800) 225-8009 to schedule a confidential consultation.
